Their actually weren't any photos of Williams at the Football game during her visit. Or any of the other girls for that matter.
there were some at her Texas visit

Isn't it a bit strange that no photos have been posted of either recruit this weekend? Has the program even acknowledged their arrival on campus?
Lots of photos and comments were posted last year when UConn hosted the 4 current freshmen.
Of course not. "The program" has never done that with a recruit.
Where? I didn't see any except for her Tennessee visit.there were some at her Texas visit

When you say "we" you really mean you and maybe a handful ( at most) of others, right?Here it is...you can see why we thought she was Austin bound at the time.....

Good point. I never had a doubt it was UConn once she made that unofficial visit on her own and attended the team end of year dinner.When you say "we" you really mean you and maybe a handful ( at most) of others, right?

.....was it a smile that says this is the school I'm choosing or a fake smile for the camera?
As Cat says, UConn hasn't publicized visits because it can't.
13.11.1 Presence of Media during Recruiting Contact.These rules explain why the recruits aren't in photos made public during their visits. The school can photograph them for later use, but not for publicity during the recruiting process.
A member institution shall not permit a media entity to be present during any recruiting contact made by an institution's coaching staff member. * * *
13.11.2 Comments Before Signing.
Before the signing of a prospect to a National Letter of Intent or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid, a member institution may comment publicly only to the extent of confirming its recruitment of the prospect.
13.11.4 Prospect's Visit.
A member institution shall not publicize (or arrange for publicity of) a prospect's visit to the institution's campus. Further, a prospect may not participate in team activities that would make the public or media aware of the prospect's visit to the institution * * *
Contrast that the player and family can take photos, talk to the media, comment on social media or whatever they want. And the media are free to publish the results as well as whatever they can get from high school/AAU coaches and other sources "close to the players."
I think you can expect reporters to reach out to their sources in the next day or two, and we'll see articles saying (most likely, and putting it generally) that the recruits really enjoyed their visit.

Just give them the signs?In most years, we have First Night. The recruits are usually visible at that event, though public contact with them is verboten.
Yes. Well a member institution may not publicize the visit or even acknowledge their presence at that time. That doesn't stop BY members who are not member's of UConn's institution or who are not boosters and may be on or near campus from acknowledging a sighting. Not at all. This has happened before, but not this time.As Cat says, UConn hasn't publicized visits because it can't.

True, that. We haven't had any "sightings" reported. Maybe we're as a group too decrepit to get out there. Maybe we lack the spies we've had in the past among the students and University employees.Yes. Well a member institution may not publicize the visit or even acknowledge their presence at that time.

Is everyone still taking this as a sign of good news? I'm personally skeptical , but I'm that way by nature.Still nothing on Williams and Nelson-Ododa's visits.

Definitely getting rarer but these two kids (ONO and CW) from everything I read, definitely fit the ol' school mold of unselfish, wanting to be great, and humble. Those characteristics in both players makes me optimistic that both will end up at UCONN just like MW did.I think there is very little optimism and rightfully so. It takes a special mindset for a top player to come to UConn. The player needs to be able to sacrifice individual quick gratification for team goals and long term life lessons. Maybe this is getting rarer in today's society?
