Despite fans' perceptions to the contrary, in-season visits almost never work, at least at Ohio State. Since 2002, only three uncommitted prospects (David Patterson, Ashton Youboty, and Maurice Wells) made official visits to Columbus during the season, and then subsequently committed to Ohio State and signed with the Buckeyes (and Wells was thought to be a "silent verbal" to Ohio State at the time of his visit for The Game in 2004).

Believe it or not, the players really don't care what it's like up in the stands - as much as you might like to think they will be swayed by the atmosphere inside the stadium, the players aren't "fans", and they aren't going to make their college choices based on how loud the student section is. Post-season visits give the staff much more quality time with the players, and they give the players a much better opportunity to explore the campus and get to know the current players. Unless the prospect already has a strong leaning toward Ohio State (like Patterson, Youboty, and Wells), then I'd rather see him visit after the season.
