Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 5344698, member: 1329"] UConn's schedule for their visits is really clear. There is a recruiting dead period until the first week of September where no visits are allowed. The first exhibition game for the season is Oct 13th on a Monday and presumably the coaches need to prep the weekend right before (and there is a USA basketball mini camp and other events that weekend too so you might not be able to get high end recruits anyways). And then they're in really go-go-go season mode. So there are 5 available weekends in the window that are available for visits. They like to do 1 guy a weekend and focus on them. The staff clearly picked their top 5 priorities and held the dates and got them on campus. Sayon Keita came before the dead period in early August (like Braylon did the year before). We've done some rare multiple kid weekends in the past (notably the fab five I think technically Stewart and Singare were uncommitted and visiting at the same time and a couple of the already committed guys came back), but for the most part there is a system and they stick to it. In light of this and perhaps as consideration and respect for Toure, a midweek visit was considered. After that we get into he-said-he-said about why that visit never happened. [/QUOTE]
