Thought we might have a thread dedicated to tracking on campus visits, official or otherwise. I am not the guy who knows this stuff, but hopefully we can track visits here
This weekend we know Manny Bates has an official.
Post any available info here

I personally think this is a huge visit for us. I know we have made the final list for several kids but I think there is very few where we are considered a favorite.
I think we have a great shot w this kid, top 100 talent, continues to improve, no blue bloods as of yet in the picture. Brings attributes especially defensively we badly need.
This is BIG!

Not in the Rivals top 100 or the Scout top 100. He is #78 on ESPN. Considered an NC State lean. packinsider.com/2017/08/23/pack-target-manny-bates-2018-pf-climbing-rankings/

Am I the only one who feels Crabtree is underrated, his highlights were impressive.

Think that's splitting hairs a bit. He's 110 on Rivals, 106 on Scout, 78 on Espn, and 84 on 247. Average all 4 and you have a top100 ranking. 94 to be precise.

Considered an NC State lean. packinsider.com/2017/08/23/pack-target-manny-bates-2018-pf-climbing-rankings/You're not incorrect, but the rankings are more positive than you're implying. - Bates is not top 100 on Rivals, but he's just outside at 110 and that was after a jump from 144 in the previous rankings.
- Bates is not top 100 on Scout, but that's because Scout has not ranked him at all yet. They have him as a 4 star so he'll likely be close to top 100 in their next iteration.
- As you mentioned Bates is 78 on ESPN.
- On 247 (which collaborates with Scout now) Bates is 84 on their rankings, and 106 on their composite rankings.
So for now we can call him a top 110 talent if you're more comfortable with that.

So for now we can call him a top 110 talent if you're more comfortable with that. As long as we're splitting hairs, Scout has ranked its top 100, updating the list within the past few weeks. Bates clearly wasn't in that list - cool with calling him a top 110 talent, though. Either way, he's an NC State lean. I hope Ewing reels him in, but at this point, he's a fringe top 100 big man - not looking like a major impact guy, at least off the bat.

I would be happy with a commitment from a solid 2018 player as a starting point. Bates clearly seems like a high-major talent; if Pat wants him, I would be very glad to see him commit.

Am I the only one who feels Crabtree is underrated, his highlights were impressive. I'd like to see some full game videos. He looks like he has the size/length/athleticism to be a solid SG. Let's see about the shooting. One thing's likely -- he'll be getting a lot more love this year, coming out of Hargrave. Good to be involved at this point.

Anyone there this weekend? I haven't noticed any publicly announced official or unofficial visits for this weekend. Hopefully there will be a couple that we haven't heard about yet.

I don't think the staff has anyone coming on campus this weekend on purpose. The evaluation period starts tomorrow. College coaches can start going to high schools and watch prospects working out with their high school teams. Coaches can also have home visits with prospects. Whichever high school gyms that members of the staff are spotted in will give some insight on who they are targeting in the 18, 19, & 20 classes.

Shouldn't we list the visits here and save the commentary for the individual threads? Or at least update the visits on the initial post so they're easy to find? Or am I missing the point of the thread?
