So i was wondering if theres any correlation to the order of campus visits and the school the recruit ultimately chooses. Since Kelly visited us after Vandy, Wake and ND and before Duke and UNC, is it correct to assume we are #3 on his list and UNC is the leader? Anyone have any idea how its worked out in the past for top recruits?

While it may be relevant in some cases -- I think if the recruit has a really defined list they may strategically place schools -- I think there are too many factors for it to be uniform. - If a player wants to end quickly, they might put their favorite first (Greg Monroe)
- If another player isn't so sure, but has a favorite, they might put the favorite last so they give the other schools a chance and establish comparison points
- A local school might not have priority because unofficials are easy
- The school has a preference on weekends - for instance, Midnight Madness or days when other recruits are coming in.
- General scheduling conflicts
- Who asks first

In Kelly's case the two local schools were last. I don't think he even took an official to either one even though he had 1 OV left.
Looks like he is down to ND and Duke.

This matters to you because............. Don't you have enough things to worry about regarding the Circus in Storrs and if BUBBLE BOY is going to ignore any responsibilities to do his "Pete Bell" imitation? Next thing we know Neon Badeaux is going to be backing up Thabeet with Butch McCray and Ricky Roe joining him. Only they'd have to take a paycut to get to Storrs. |

I think I'll take Monroe over Kelly every day. Best of luck to Ryan though, and while I think he'll experience a better fit, I believe he'll understand the error of his ways.

This matters to you because............. It's Big East basketball. What affects one BE team, affects the others. A stronger BE is good for all of us. Losing him to Duke make it even tougher. |

He'll certainly learn how to fall down and participate in group hugs at the foul line....

Does anyone find it interesting that Kelly and Hairston ended up at the same institution? I think Duke makes sense for Kelly, but that's one result I didn't anticipate.
