DeVante Wilson of Riverside (Calif.) C.C.
Update (10:18 a.m.): Hunt says Provo (UT) Timpview defensive end
Gabe Reid will also visit Washington State this weekend. Reid is a three-star and there's more on him below.
Update (3:05 p.m.): According to a source, Honolulu (HI) Punahou receiver
Shalom Luani, an Oregon State commit, are also officially visiting this weekend.
Notes on visitors
-Mufi Hunt is will be taking his first official visit to Washington State this weekend and the three-star, who will take a mission and join the college of his choice in 2017, holds offers from Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, California, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Washington State. In addition to WSU, Hunt says he wants to visit California and Utah.
-Joining Hunt will be three-star defensive end Gabe Reid, who also hails from Utah. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound defensive end also holds offers from Arizona State, BYU, Oregon State, Stanford, Utah, Utah State, Washington and Wyoming. Reid has taken several unofficial visits to Stanford already but this will be his first official visit of his recruitment.
-Three-star cornerback Darrien Molton committed to Washington State over the summer and has since maintained 100 percent commitment to the Cougars, despite various coaching changes on the defensive side. Molton's main recruiter, Ken Wilson, visited him in-home this week.
-Tim Settle is the headline recruit this weekend and is has named the Cougars as one of the four teams he'll be choosing from when it comes down to make a decision, though he has yet to say when that will be. The four-star from Virginia is coming off an official visit to USC and is also considering Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech.
His good friend, Adam McLean, who visited Washington State last weekend, committed to Maryland, so there won't be a packaged deal there. Settle is an interesting target as he would have a chance to play right away, however Virginia Tech appears to have the edge currently. Settle says he's no longer doing media interviews, so I'll keep my ears open on this one.
-One of three JUCO prospects expected to be in town this weekend is Riverside (Calif.) C.C. defensive end Jeremiah Mitchell, who holds offers from Arizona State, Iowa State, Oregon and Purdue, in addition to Washington State. The former Marshall commit has seen his recruitment take off as of late and appeared to be close to a commitment to Oregon, though it appears the Ducks have chose to go in a different direction.
-Another Riverside prospect who will be tripping to Pullman, Wash., this weekend is linebacker Jonah Moi, a Hawaii commit who's rated three-stars by Rivals. The inside linebacker committed to the Warriors in July, though his recruitment is pretty open, as of now. In addition to Washington State and Hawaii, Moi holds an offer from BYU.
-Somewhat of a surprise visitor, DaVante Wilson, also from Riverside C.C., will take an official visit to the Palouse this weekend. The three-star defensive end was originally scheduled to visit California this weekend but moved that visit back in order to trip to Washington State with his teammates. In addition to Washington State, Wilson holds offers from Arizona State and California.
-One late addition to the list is junior college safety
Shalom Luani out of CCSF. An Oregon State commit, Luani picked up an offer from Washington State a couple weeks ago and with Riley going to Nebraska, the Cougars have a chance to make a big impression this weekend. Illinois has also offered the 6-foot-1, 200-pound safety, who is rated three-stars by Rivals.
-Kanawai Noa is a new name on the Washington State radar but the Hawaiian prospect has a ton of upside as a receiver. In addition to Washington State, Noa, who is not yet rated by Rivals, holds offers from California, Hawaii, Utah State and Yale.
