On Monday, Texas Tech football welcomed the news of two players ready to set foot in Lubbock next fall. One was a welcome addition in Dallas Skyline S Keanon Cooper, while the other, Camden, Arkansas DE Brian Christopher was a totally unknown to me (I don't follow recruiting close enough, apparently).
Don Williams has the write up in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
I really like the addition of Cooper. He brings a much needed talent to the secondary, and this class. Not to take away from early-commit Cody Davis, but Cooper could be a great addition for the future. It is also important for Coach Leach to continue his presence in the Metroplex. One of his last trips inside Dallas landed Michael Crabtree, afterall.
Like I said earlier, I have nothing to add on Brian Christopher. I hadn't heard his name before reading the article. The interesting thing is that two of his teammates at Fairview happen to be targets for Texas Tech, who are currently listed as "soft verbals" to Arkansas. Either Mike really liked what he saw in Christopher when he was looking at the other two, or he is hoping to pull a fast one on Bobby Petrino. Can't really criticize the Coach since he has been a wonderful evaluator of talent (see Wes Welker).
This brings the total number of verbals up to 16, with 10 being listed on the defensive side of the ball. Texas Tech recruits
