With signing day less than two weeks away, we won't be doing the Red Raider Confidential between now and then. Instead, I'll be posting a weekly recruiting recap to get you caught up on what you may have missed throughout the week since things fly pretty fast over the last few weeks of the recruiting cycle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Recruiting Recapl is sponsored by Cardinal's Sports Center. If you need Texas Tech gear or Under Armour apparel, the best place to go in our opinion is Cardinal's -- they have a tremendous location in Lubbock (Slide and S. Loop 289), a store in Plano and a fantastic selection on their website.
If you're in the Lubbock area and looking to get into shape, but don't know where to start, check out the website for Cardinal's Fitness. You can sign up for individual classes -- no contract or membership required -- that are good for people at any fitness level.

NEW PROSPECTS
El Paso (Texas) Andress ATH Tristan Cooper - Cooper is brand new on the radar for Tech, and new STs coach Joe Robinson looks to be his recruiter. No offer as of yet, but it sounds like one could be well on the way. He also holds offers from Arizona and Illinois, and he'll heads out to each respectively over the final two weekends of the cycle.
Zachary (Louisiana) WR/DB Douglas Coleman - You figured that Jabbar Juluke would immediately bring some new names to the table for Tech as we get close to signing day, and Coleman is the first one on the list. He plays both receiver and corner for Zachary, but the Red Raiders are looking at him as a DB. Both Juluke and Zac Spavital stopped by to see Coleman on an in-home, and it looks like he'll be visiting Lubbock next weekend on the 29th.
