Unofficial Visits 101: A Guide for 6A RB Prospects
When planning unofficial visits to colleges, remember to create a detailed itinerary to maximize your time. This includes scheduling meetings with coaches, observing practices and games, and taking notes on facilities and academic resources. Be prepared to ask thoughtful questions, such as 'What are the typical weight and strength training programs for running backs?' or 'How does the athletic department support student-athletes academically?' Aim to take at least 20 photos of the campus and facilities, and consider recording video of your interactions with coaches. This will help you document your experience and show your interest in the program. For example, note the number of RBs on the current roster and the average GPA of the team. This will help you make informed decisions about your recruitment.
