BBQ At The Big House Visitor List Comment Count

Brandon Brown

The annual recruiting extravaganza known as the BBQ at The Big House is just a couple of weeks away on July 27th and already the list of visitors is quite star-studded. A blend of committed and uncommitted prospects from multiple classes will be in attendance for what has proved to be a huge recruiting tool in past classes. Below is who I’ve been able to contact in order to start putting together a list of who will be in attendance and who won’t be. Of course there are many prospects that are still unsure, they are listed as well.

A visitor list for an event like this is always subject to change and I know there are several others who belong in one of the categories that I just haven’t heard back from yet.  Unfortunately for the readers I am embarking on my honeymoon tomorrow so I won’t be adding or subtracting to or from this list for at least a week.

was going to be there with a buckle up situation possibly...hope he can make it along with Cole and Wheatley.  Glad Malzone and some of the other committed guys will be there though.  Happy Honeymooning!

he was married the Fourth of July. I have not idea what he's been doing since then.

I don't know if there is a reason it hasn't been posted before so I won't copy the tweet here.

I don't remember Brandon's twitter is where I saw this before. My apologies if it's been posted elsewhere. This is really funny so I'll post it here.

I know this has been a hugely successful event in the past, but I had a question come to mind about it recently. Is the current team heavily involved in this each year? I never know what a coaching staff is allowed to do in terms of providing meals and such, if they can require the players to be a part of something like this or if they're even allowed to be. Maybe they don't want them super involved so they have more time with just the recruits. There are so many gray areas in recruiting and summer stuff with the team that I don't understand.
Like the paintball game the other day. Team activity? Mandatory? Or just something a handful of team members decided to do?

I thought there was a chance Keisean Lucier-South would be able to make it out.  This is the kind of event we could use to move up on his list.

Brian Cole only "may attend" we can't seem to get him on campus. Writing seems to be on the wall....

Any word on Thiyo Lukusa?  I know at one point he was close to pulling the trigger before slowing things down.  Just wondering if was was going to make the BBQ.

How successful has this event been in terms of its impact on recruiting?  Anybody have any idea what the "yield ratio" has been as far as percent of kids that attended the event who later commited to Michigan?
