Fastbreak Friday: Everything is bigger in Texas this weekend

Official visit season is rolling again this weekend, as college coaches across the country are set to host some of their top priorities for visits this weekend. Each week at HoopSeen.com, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of which prospect is headed where for the weekend.

This weekend, the discussion centers around the state of Texas. As they say, everything is bigger in Texas, and this weekend is no different for several schools, specifically Texas A&M and Texas Tech.

Texas A&M has a full slate of important visitors as their football team is set to host Clemson for a prime Saturday matchup. Billy Kennedy and his staff will be working to impress top 100 prospects Samuell Williamson and Drew Timme. The Aggies will have their future backcourt in attendance to work the duo, as 2019 guards Sahvir Wheeler and Chris Harris, Jr. are expected to be on campus, too. Texas A&M has some big momentum following the commitment of 6-foot-8 power forward Tyreek Smith this week.  

Not far away, Chris Beard and Texas Tech also have a big weekend on their hands. The Red Raiders will play host to 2019 priorities Marcus WatsonJahmius Ramsey, and Victor Iwuakor. Beard has also called on his talented 2019 commitment, 6-foot-4 shooting guard Kevin McCullar, to assist in recruiting efforts.

Shaka Smart and the Texas Longhorns also have another big weekend on campus. After hosting five-star big man Will Baker last weekend, in-state priority Donovan Williams will make the trip to Austin for his second official visit. Williams was one of the biggest risers from the summer, including a breakout performance at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in June.
