Haha. There just isn’t much to report from visits these days. Every visit goes well, nothing earth shattering ever happens. Kids hangout with the team, meet with Brad and staff(especially fletch). It’s a pretty standard operating procedure now.
Illinois 105, Cincinnati 96 (Exhibition) Postgame

In fairness, that game would have made anyone want to leave the board
Plus, and I could be wrong, 5-star and even lesser recruits are holding out until spring to see how things shake out, not just at Illinois but, I imagine, everywhere. Therefore, not a lot of action.
Is fletch the best recruiter on our staff?
He gives the most important presentation to the recruits in the staffs opinion.
I do believe he is a real factor when you look at development! We are lucky to have this man in our program! One of the best! Sell it!!! Kind of sells it’s self
Would be really cool to see somehow see snippets of that. Be fun to see how he plans to build these beasts he keeps creating.
Tell me if I'm wrong....but doesn't Fletch basically tell these recruits what kind of weight program that each would be on, which includes pretty much everything they eat, drink, when to lift and condition...and maybe even sleep and rest requirements.....that's going to take up a good portion of each recruits day....so yea If I were a recruit, I'd be listening to what he had to say
And on the flip side, how receptive and interested in that presentation the recruit is would, I would think, be an important data point for the staff.
A little off topic but both Underwood and Bielema meet with prospects for Shauna Green's program if they are in town. Wonder if that happens at other programs.
