I would imagine this isn't the best time to be bringing top recruits in for a visit. I've certainly never been on that end of it and don't know what all a recruit goes through on an official visit. Do they just tour the facilities and get fed well, or do they hook em' up with a couple of hot co-eds? Townhall, wasn't that part of your gig at AU? Please to be shedding the light.
But, if you visit while a traditional (Recent tradition) national power is hitting the skids for the first time in a while, I wouldn't think the overall atmosphere would be real positive. If you suck, like UK or MSU, you can sell playing time and instant big man on campus stature. If you're looking at the big time program and being in the national limelight...and said program looks like a sinking ship with a bunch of rats jumping overboard, you might not get a warm fuzzy on your visit. Just sayin'.
