I thought we had more #'s coming this weekend than we had at the OSU game. Thought I read that we had a number of unofficials coming this weekend too. Regardless, it's been a long time coming.

2017: Recruiting News, Notes & Official Visitors
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
Seems like this weekend has more uncommitted visitors. Oregon state game seemingly had more visitors but they were mostly already committed to us.

Is there an official list of visitors?
Buffstampede has one.
Official? No.
Publicly available one from Howell which has 1 mistake on it of the people who are coming and doesn't list everyone. But it's pretty damn close. http://www.buffzone.com/buffzone-bl...-recruiting-big-weekend-visitors-and-catching

Some of these guys got in yesterday yes?
A long shot, but KD, Falo, Cotton and Moore deciding to give verbals after this weekend would be game changing.

Just out of curiosity, how important is it to get a win on big recruiting weekends like this, historically speaking? I mean, obviously it's important, and you're more likely to get more commits on a weekend you get a win, but is it crippling to lose? Or is it more important that they bond, they enjoy the trip, the weather is good, facilities, etc? I guess this is probably more for @BuffStampede and @KyleM. more than anyone. I just foresee AllBuffs in a major panic if we lose, and was curious if it was warranted.

I'd say it's pretty important to win and look damn good doing it. Just my 2 cents. College football and momentum are huge.
I think the most underrated factor in college recruiting is the influence of the current players on the team.
If the HS kids see them having a great time, see them as a tight group that gets along and that has fun together then it's a lot easier to convince them that spending 4 years at your school is a good decision. Obviously that is much easier to do when the team is winning.

and add Greg Rogers and Noah Elliss because they like all the excitement!
Just saw that we made the top 6 schools of choice for K'Lavon Chaisson '17 TX DE (4* 85 on ESPN)

Yeah, it's always okay to put newsy stuff in the recruit's threads, especially if it's favorable to CU!

2018, FYI.
Love what Chev is doing here. Building a new culture at CU. Could we see our first Biletnikoff under his leadership?
Is there another state in which CU has invested as much recruiting energy for as little return as Nevada?
This is again a year that we get visits, lots of positive response, and then they either go to aCaifornia school or go further east.
I'm glad the staff is trying but would the effort be better spent elsewhere?

Bishop Gorman players strike me as the type that tend to go to a more flashy school (and you can see this holds true), generally a type that reminds them of BG like how Martell kept repeatedly bringing up how much he liked that Ohio State was ran so professionally and reminded him of Gorman. Not sure if it's the same for Rogers being at Arbor View but you get my point. So yeah I think it's a bit of a wasted effort.
Yeah, but it's a growing state with a lot of talent concentrated in a small area. I've got no argument against stopping in Vegas to visit the 2 or 3 high schools with D1 talent each year.
