Does the recruit have any say in the agenda for the visit?
I've always been a "let's get straight to the point" kinda guy. If I were visiting a campus, I'd have a set of priorities that would include looking at the training facilities, where would I live, where/what would I eat, conversations with coaches, get to know my future teammates, classes in my area of interest, NIL potential and execution, and whatever else matters to my personal well-being.
I would not be posing for photographs, especially not in your jersey, as I am not being compensated to promote your university. I would not be sitting with your fans. In fact, I would tend to avoid any and all kinds of hoopla.
It all just seems strange to me that recruits allow themselves to be manipulated like what we've seen, even from UConn. I'm the guy being pursued. You're the pursuer. Shouldn't I get to call the terms of the recruitment?
