Message: [QUOTE="Rocco, post: 830882, member: 51"] [U]I posted this in a thread on the football side, figured it was more appropriate over here:[/U] The whole point of an official visit is for the recruit to get a true feel for the school that he may be picking. While program history, facilities, playing time and proximity to home are all important, their interactions with the football team and staff behind the scenes, developing a good comfort zone and developing solid relationships can make or break a commitment. In addition to seeing a bball game, they will also: [LIST] [*]get schmoozed during an awesome meal at Dinosaur BBQ, [*]get walked through the updated football wing, [*]given a tour of the famous Carrier Dome, [*]shown the Heisman Trophy, [*]understand the importance of #44 at SU, [*]walk through the film rooms and shown how they prep during game week, [*]given a detailed description of how each of them will fit into the system, [*]shown the plans for the IPF, [*]stay in the dorms with one of the players, [*]meet with all of the tutors, [*]hear about the success an SU education can provide outside of football, [*]go out and party with the players around campus. [*]Most importantly, they get to have candid convos with Shafer and the other coaches. [/LIST] SU does a good job during official visits. They go all out to [I]stress [/I]the family atmosphere to these kids and their parents/guardians. I'm expecting several verbals during the few big recruiting weekends they have set up. We are in on some top-notch kids that have a legit interest in coming here. Opportunity is on the table at Syracuse and the coaches are relaying that to the recruits. It's pretty impressive how this staff has been able to get in on some of these studs, but now let's hope we can reel a few of them in. I've heard good things so far... [/QUOTE]
