Message: [QUOTE="JS, post: 2372303, member: 6"] As Cat says, UConn hasn't publicized visits because it can't. [INDENT]13.11.1 Presence of Media during Recruiting Contact. A member institution shall not permit a media entity to be present during any recruiting contact made by an institution's coaching staff member. * * * 13.11.2 Comments Before Signing. Before the signing of a prospect to a National Letter of Intent or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid, a member institution may comment publicly only to the extent of confirming its recruitment of the prospect. 13.11.4 Prospect's Visit. A member institution shall not publicize (or arrange for publicity of) a prospect's visit to the institution's campus. Further, a prospect may not participate in team activities that would make the public or media aware of the prospect's visit to the institution * * * [/INDENT] These rules explain why the recruits aren't in photos made public during their visits. The school can photograph them for later use, but not for publicity during the recruiting process. Contrast that the player and family can take photos, talk to the media, comment on social media or whatever they want. And the media are free to publish the results as well as whatever they can get from high school/AAU coaches and other sources "close to the players." I think you can expect reporters to reach out to their sources in the next day or two, and we'll see articles saying (most likely, and putting it generally) that the recruits really enjoyed their visit.
