Wow.
Didn't realize it was that unorchestrated.
Seems like that leaves a lot up to chance as far as whether a recruit hits it off with his host or enjoys the activities they put together for him.
Is that how all schools do it? I mean, I'm sure there are some planned activities, but I just can't imagine spending time on a recruiting visit playing video games.
This is just at night. The rest of the day is planned out to the minute. Once all the school stuff is done and the game is over thats when its time to unwind. You'll see many kids pick or eliminate a school from it. This is when theres usually no parents and coaches around and the kid can get to know future teammates, see the city, and ask the questions they may not ask an "adult". Some of the guys actually enjoy just resting and playing video games. Some may have flown in thhat morning, went straight to the stadium for a couple hours of tours, then they spend 4 hours at a game. At that point you can be completely drained and just want to rest. Every recruit is different. Thats why they try and match them up but usually they go in groups so that way they can have some options and if someone doesnt click they can still talk with others.
