Josh Gray, a 6-foot-2 guard out of Houston Wheatley, will visit Texas Tech this weekend.

Gray, the 15th-ranked player in Texas, according to ESPN.com, was originally signed with Mississippi State, but he was granted a release from his national letter of intent when longtime coach Rick Stansbury retired following the Bulldogs' first-round loss in the National Invitation Tournament.

As a senior at Wheatley last season, Gray averaged 23.8 points, 5.9 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game while helping lead the Wildcats to Class 4A playoffs.
