There will not be too many prospects in the south out for official visits this weekend, but the ones that are, are ones to watch.

There are three official visits to watch closely and two will be on the Auburn campus. One in this trio could commit before leaving as well.

Kalen Deloach is committed to Florida State, but he is visiting Auburn this weekend. The Tigers were at one time considered the frontrunner for the four-star linebacker out of Savannah (Ga.) Islands, so this is a visit to watch. Does Willie Taggart and the Seminoles have reason to worry? It does not appear so right now, but we will see if the feeling is different after this visit. Deloach has his official visit to Florida State scheduled for November 24 and he still looks to be strong with his commitment at this time.

Buford (Ga.) running back Derrian Brown is headed for Austin this weekend to see the Texas Longhorns. Could Brown's recruitment be over before he heads back home? There is a chance of that happening. Texas has been the leader for Brown for months now, and if he sees what he is looking for on his first visit to Austin, then his recruitment could be over by the start of next week. When talking to Brown not long ago, he did not really want to speak on any other school than Texas, so Tom Herman and his program are in a great spot.

Derick Hall II will be off to Auburn this weekend, a place he is very familiar with. The Tigers started surging late in the spring and at one time, a commitment to Gus Malzahn looked to be imminent. It could be that time again. Florida State is still in play and Mississippi State is trying to hang around, but Auburn is, and had been trending. Could this be the weekend? It does not seem too likely that Brown publicly commits before he leaves the Plains this weekend, but you cannot completely rule that out. A decision is likely to come soon and a great visit this weekend could seal the deal.
