While I agree that it is an opportunity to expose a large number of kids to the program, the problem I continue to have with it is the lack of talent in a 4-5 hour radius of the program.  Upstate NY is paper thin.  So basically you're hoping that NYC, North/Central Jersey, and North/Eastern PA kids are going to come up, and maybe some New Englanders.  With the numbers you're likely to see from those groups, I think you can still effectively recruit in a targeted way rather than the mass visit route. 
 
Is there any correlation between having a junior day and landing a significant number of commits?  I remember last year when people were falling all over themselves because BC had some big names up to their junior day and they subsequently landed no one as a result of that junior day. 
 
I think they make a ton of sense if you're in Texas, Florida, Georgia etc because there are so many recruits in those states.  But I still don't know if they're necessary in the Northeast.
 
And our competition in the region - Pitt and BC have Zero commits, Rutgers 3, and PSU 4.  I expect PSU, and a little surprised that Rutgers has a good an early start as they do.
