Official Visits

Glad I wasn't the only one who said, WTF did he just say?

3 star Shaw visited then left (Tech) Dec 9.

Imagine visiting, and then leaving.

That rarely happens in Acadiana, but it is very common in Ruston. (or so I've been told)

I walked out of the basketball game the same time as a group of football players; all I know is a few of them were REALLY big dudes (which is saying something because I'm not a small man) and they were having fun - and were none too impressed with ULM's basketball team.

I could give s good   on who Alice shoe is recruiting, my point is why we, as UL fans can never get this sort of information...

I agree 100%, why don't we know who visited, is it our local paper that is at fault or is it our athletic information department?

It appears when you want something like this fixed, talk to the man, Maggard.

Coaches are not allowed to speak about recruits. The athletic department is not supposed to release that info.

We used to get info from redzone. Cajun T did a great job there but he now has much bigger things do

I get that a few of the visits may be on the QT, but can we get more than just a recap of tweets?

Nope, makes us appreciate even more the work Cajun T did......unless someone is in the know with the recruits directly, we are nothing but a bunch of tweet readers.

Of the 12ish visiting.......by my count only 3 visiting had tweets prior to the weekend visit. It may be a good thing we don't know. The last week will be like the head coach search thread.....but without the airport updates.

There is a good chance several of those visiting over next 3 weeks are committed to others given our late start. Probably something that is best not advertised.

Good point. Could be that if the school's to whom they committed get wind of their visits, it'll bring down a lot of pressure on them to stay the course.

Then how does the nola.com reporter get the info on who's visiting, with or without family, even who their hosts are...

[talktomewillis]

It's all about sources. T did an excellent job cultivating his.

And, let's remember, most everyone there is brand new and there has been no time to establish new sources (except for Trichel).

But hey...that silence thing worked ok in the coaches' search....maybe it'll reap dividends here too.
