Official Visits

If you are invited on an official visit don’t expect an offer, but you can assume that you are one of 3 or 4 prospects at the current time. Some of the top schools give out very few official visits because they feel that players who are really interested will come visit despite having to pay.  As always, be sure to give everyone you meet a firm handshake, look them in the eye upon meeting and departing.
