TTB: Saturday visit list... !!!!!

I cannot ever recall such a star-studded official visitors list.

http://touchthebanner.blogspot.com/2012/10/visitors-michigan-vs-michigan-state.html 

Touch the Banner notes that the list is, as always, fluid and that there may be additions or cancellations.  But a lot of the visits are players taking their "official," and I suspect that those arrangements are pretty solid.  What a list!  I'll have trouble keeping my eyes off our visitors' section just to watch the game. 

[Edit. - Tremendous offers the list of names, and more, minus Magnus's editorial blurbs.  Just trying to spread the credit for all of the painstaking work that goes into compiling the weekend plans of nearly 60 highly-recruited high school athletes, all teenagers: Tremendous blog.]

It was reported earlier in the week by Rivals that several of the commits were taking their official visits this weekend, but I think the visitor list is too expansive for them to get much individual attention.  It seems several of them will be taking their officials later in the fall.

Michigan is taking an elite guy in 2013 (Shane Morris), but it seems like they're interested in getting a guy in 2014 who will be okay with playing second fiddle to Morris for a little while.  I would imagine that they'll be looking for another Morris-caliber recruit in 2015, and I'm not sure that Jayru Campbell fits that profile.

I don't think you can have "too many" visitors, because the number of kids there makes the school seem like a real destination, where people want to visit, see games, play, etc.  Having this many visitors is a good thing.

However, the coaches aren't going to be able to spend as much one-on-one time with all these recruits as both parties would probably like.  There's only so much time in a day.  But guys who are coming from a long way (Green, Cole, Scott, etc.) or who are on officials will probably receive the lion's share of attention.  The guys with no offers or just a couple MAC offers from Michigan or Ohio can come back anytime for a little more contact.
