Fastbreak Friday: Auburn, Louisville, Memphis & Ole Miss headline visitors this weekend

Another big weekend is on tap for college basketball programs across the country as they are set to host official visits. Each week at HoopSeen.com, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of which prospect is headed where for the weekend.

Hurricane Florence has postponed many prospects and schools' visits this weekend across the east coast, but make no mistake, this is a huge recruiting weekend for several programs, most notably Auburn, Louisville, Memphis, and Ole Miss. 

Auburn will host LSU on the gridiron on Saturday afternoon and Bruce Pearl and his staff will be working their magic throughout the weekend. The Tigers have their top 2019 targets on campus: Jaylin Williams, Ismael Massoud, and Tyrell Jones. The Tigers are in a good position for each of the three prospects and it wouldn't be a shock to see at least one of them pull the trigger this weekend.

Several talented underclassmen will also be on the Plains on Saturday for unofficial visits. Headlining the list is 2020 guard Anthony Edwards, along with 2021 prospects Jonathan Kuminga and Bretner Mutumbo.

Seemingly every weekend this fall has been a big weekend for Louisville and new head coach Chris Mack. This weekend is no different, as the Cardinals are set to host their top two perimeter targets, Jahmius Ramsey and Samuell Williamson. Mack and his staff received a pledge from Jaelyn Withers during his official visit last weekend and the Cards would love nothing more than to add to that momentum. 

Penny Hardway has the wheels rolling rapidly at Memphis. This weekend, he has three top-10 prospects on campus in 2019 power forward James Wiseman and 2020 guards Jalen Green and R.J. Hampton.

Not far down the road in Oxford, Ole Miss will host the most important weekend of the Kermit Davis era. The Rebels football team plays host to Alabama, and Davis and his staff are taking advantage of the huge atmosphere. 2019 prospects D.J. Jeffries, Antavion "Dude" Collum, and Chandler Lawson, along with 2020 forward Jaemyn Brakefield, are all on campus for official visits. They will be joined by 2019 pledge Rodney Howard and a flurry of unofficial visitors on Saturday, including K.D. Johnson, Matthew Murrell, and Daeshun Ruffin.
