Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2591360, member: 40"] Players often end up playing some pick-up ball with the current members of the team [although coaches cannot attend, otherwise this would be viewed as a "work out"]. Last year, Marek did this and the coaching staff was impressed with his shooting, and his chemistry with the other players -- just for comparison -- and the coaches decided that they wanted him, based upon that impression. Not suggesting that he wouldn't have gotten an offer without that first impression, but it did work in his favor. To be honest, I think that 99.9% of the time, the skill assessment is done prior to the visit, and that the coaches would already have a much stronger handle on prospect capabilities than the fanbase would.
