macroboy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 What all happens on a visit? I mean besides the money and escorts and stuff. What do players do when they are here for a weekend? What do the coaches do? Does anybody really know or is it illuminati style secrets. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Take pictures with uniforms on. Show the facilities. Talk to coaches, they probably get some nice meals. Hang out with players with one player hosting kinda showing the recruit what its like to be a husker and what the guys do in there spare time. Talk to professors and people on the academic side to get a feel for that. I have no inside information, but I imagine all of these things happen on an OV Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hookers and blow. Oh wait, did you mean at non-SEC schools? 3 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I can tell you years ago what happened (I worked there), I'm sure it's changed dramatically. Arrive with parents/girlfriend etc and get an introduction to a local student who works for the program. Parade around the facilities with local student as an escort (not the naughty kind) with a guide at each stop to give detail (i.e. weight room, caf, etc) Grab lunch at training table (big boy food) Afternoons are to meet one on one with position coach, weight room/PT/dietician. Walk across the field in the stadium. See practice fields. I believe now they also have meetings with their potential college major academic rep. At end of day mom and dad go back to the hotel and Jr. gets assigned a FB player to show them around and give them an idea on student life. Given money to go out to eat. Obviously now photo in unis and lockerroom and etc are a big deal - that wasn't the case when I was there. 3 Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Sounds like Hank Bounds is now meeting and talking individually with families during the OV's and Bill Moos is also taking the time to meet with them. Would send a pretty strong message about a united front to meet with all of the coaches, AD, and president of the University it seems like. 2 Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Do they work out or get measured or anything? Quote Link to comment

I would guess no as we are selling to them more than the other way around. Just a guess though Edited January 14, 2018 by spurs1990 Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Makes sense. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I am friends with a former assistant coach at Green-Beckham's high school here in Missouri (WR at Mizzou, 5-star guy etc.), and the "hookers & blow" description isn't to far off from the stories I've heard through him about DGB's visits.

macroboy Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've always kind of thought that what happens on visits is one of the biggest 'Don't ask, Don't tell' agreements in college sports. 2 Quote Link to comment

It isn't uncommon to see players/recruits at parties. Especially spring game weekend. Quote Link to comment

swmohusker Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Recruits do the whole school, faculty, and coach thing. Then they are usually assigned to a player to host them that night. It was the players job to feel out the recruit and see what they wanted to do. Sometimes it was hang out and play Madden, others it was take them put and introduce them to every hot girl on campus and get wasted. Just depends on the personality of the recruit. My roommate and I had a 90 percent sign ratio. #moneyteam Quote Link to comment
Mary Pats BOB Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 “Unique twist” was cited in VIP article after this last weekend’s round of visits. Can anyone shed light on that? I forget which recruit said it. Quote Link to comment
