I thought you could apply for exceptions? Seems like having the high number of transfers out would be reason enough to allow us an extra OV or two???
Think of the incentives that would create if the NCAA allowed that.

That's what I'm saying, didn't someone post a link or comment saying that there were NCAA exceptions to get additional OV's some time back? I mean, they may have been completely wrong. I thought they even gave an example of that happening.... :noidea:
Does anyone know what the university includes for the athlete and his family in an official visit as opposed to an unofficial visit...I am assuming it's paying for travel expenses...but is it more than that??.....How does the process work???
If doesn't sound promising for Higgs at this point.
Who will be the next prospect?
I recall when ILL missed on Trice, some said that we did not want him because we would get someone better. Now I would take Trice without thinking twice.
Remember a few months ago when people raised concern with our rapidly diminishing stockpile of official visits, and so many people responded with stuff like "the staff can count" or "it's silly to be concerned about this"?
Well, here we are.
Well I guess no one here knows the answer to this question....maybe someone on HQ will know
Or that the staff should have been more aware of the realistic chances to land some of those guys before hosting them on officials, is what I'm guessing folks would say.So you're suggesting that the staff should have tried to recruit the players they valued more (and ultimately lost out on) without using official visits? I'm sure that would have gone over well.

Along with travel like you said. Paying for all meals, activities during the trip, clothing and gear, etc

Since it’s an unofficial doesn’t that mean there are different rules about working out with the team/coaches? As in, it’s allowable?

Lets get Adam Miller in too with an early commit from both him and Whitney.
Nick Irvin told Piper that Kahlil loves playing with Ayo and he is visiting to see his old Pal. Huge get. Could put the Illini in top of Big with this years class.:thumb: 5 Star Ayo, 5 Star Whitney.
This year's class? Isn't Whitney a 2019?
I'm pretty sure he meant, "In addition to" this year's class. I still say we'd need another really good big (would love a Top 100 big man for '19), even with Samba and Giorgi being sophs by then, to make it an ideal class.
