-- Right-handed pitcher Ashe Russell, who is ranked as the No. 5 player in the country and the best player at his position, will visit officially this weekend. We would certainly place him on commitment watch either this weekend or in the very near future. Russell was initially supposed to visit the weekend of October 31 but has moved the visit up because he’s ready to make his decision. Russell now appears to be down to South Carolina and Texas A&M in his final two.

-- The other major visitor that USC will have on campus this weekend is 2016 catcher/outfielder Marc Coffers (Naples, Fla./Barron Collier), who will be down for the entire weekend as well. He wants to check out some of the baseball scrimmages, see the campus and have the full tour. Coffers is ranked as the No. 216 player in the country by Perfect Game and the No. 28 catcher. Ole Miss, we’re told, is one of the chief teams recruiting him.
