No Lindsey Scott this weekend. He's already quite familiar with Tulane, so I wouldn't necessarily read too much into that choice, but it is interesting the Wave is entertaining a 3-star QB commitment to Houston.
First, the guys already committed to Tulane:
Nik Hogan
Jason Swann
Jamiran James
Amare Jones
Jorien Vallien
Macon Clark (Tulane sees him as a DB although Rivals lists him as an LB)
And the 11 guys Tulane is recruiting.
1) Despelado Alexandre, a 6-4, 270-pound 2-star OT from Deerfield Beach in Florida.
Comment: He is committed to Georgia State. It depends on how much Tulane wants him.
2) Ygenio Booker, a 5-10, 177-pound 2-star WR from Brooksville (Fla.) Hernando High
Comment: His only other offers are from Troy and Georgia Southern. Again, it depends on how much interest is there.
3) Sydney Brown, a 6-0 190-pound ATH from Bradenton (Fla.) St. Stephens Episcopal who has no stars from Rivals or 247 Sports but is in the Rivals database. Tulane is recruiting him as a DB.
Comment: Don't know anything about him, and he has no listed offers, but Fritz wants DBs.

4) Damien Tate, a 5-10, 172-pound 2-star CB from Warren Easton
Comment: He is a McNeese State commitment with offers from FBS programs on a lower level than Tulane. It looks like the Wave will take at least one more DB in the class.
5) Ja'quon Griffin, a 6-0, 268-pound 3-star DT from Rome, Ga.
Comment: Committed to LSU in April along with two other D-linemen from his school, none of which held. It appears LSU never was committed to him and the relationship was one-sided. Appalachian State appears to have recruited him the hardest. I'm of the belief that you can never have enough good interior linemen, so if he is the real deal, he is worth pursuing.
6) Chris Joyce, a 5-11, 175-pound 3-star CB from Dutchtown High in Hampton, Ga.
Comment: No offers from P5 schools except for Tennessee, and I doubt that one still stands. All of his other offers are from schools below AAC level. He is one of four DBs Tulane is looking at this weekend.
7) Travon King, a 6-4, 205-pound 3-star ATH from Wilson High In Camden, N.J. Committed to home-state Rutgers in August. Rated the 23rd best player in New Jersey by Rivals.
Comment: Tulane sees him as a DE/OLB. That's the side of the ball he prefers anyway. He had 38 tackles and 14 sacks as a senior. King's younger brother will graduate next year and also is a college prospect who plans to attend the same school as Travon.

8) Donte Martin, a 5-8, 162-pound CB from Rio Mesa High in Oxnard, Calif. No stars from Rivals or 247 Sports.
Comment: Again, I'm not playing down the chances for any DB to end up in the class. Cleary Tulane is making it a priority. His only other reported offer is from San Jose State.

9) Lichon Terrell, a 6-2, 260-pound 3-star DE from Calloway High in Hoganville, Ga. Committed to Western Kentucky in July.
Comment: Chose the Hilltoppers over Tulane, Charlotte and Iowa State. Has anything changed? Well, a visit on the final recruiting weekend usually means there's a chance something has changed unless he just wants a trip to New Orleans.

10) Julon Williams, a 5-8, 185-pound 3-star ATH from Judson High in Converse, Texas. Tulane is recruiting him as a QB. Committed to Houston in September.
Comment: Rivals listed his as one of five commitments from the state of Texas most likely to flip in October. He visited Utah, received a lot of interest from Virginia and now is visiting Tulane on the final recruiting weekend before the early signing day. With Scott not visiting this weekend, it will be interesting how hard the Wave goes after Williams. Fritz said Tuesday the ideal breakdown at QB was having one freshman, one sophomore, one junior and one senior. If Scott goes elsewhere, Tulane will have one senior, one redshirt freshman and one true freshman on the roster next fall, leaving room for a fourth even if the class breakdown is not as ideal as if Scott, who has three years left, were there.

11) Brayden Willis, a 6-4, 210-pound 3-star TE from Martin High in Arlington, Texas
Comment: Teammate of Tulane WR commitment Sorrell Brown has offers from Houston, Arizona, Illinois and a bunch of lesser schools. He had 29 catches for 586 yards this year and also ran 70 times for 572 yards. If there's room for another TE, he seems worth it.
