What don't you understand about that?

I presume that you realize that, during the Tressel regime, OSU's success with recruits who visit on game days is basically nil.

I also presume that you realize that the players will be playing on the field, not sitting in the stands, so they are not particularly concerned with the game day atmosphere, but would rather find out in-depth information about the program, the team, the coaches, the school, etc., and that off-season visits provide the recruit with the best chance to learn about such things.


I also presume that you realize that Tressel is a pretty good recruiter and has a fairly decent won-loss record at Ohio State. But, maybe you know more than he does....

I was thinking more in terms of getting him in here on an unofficial and letting him witness the atmosphere first hand because he hasn't experienced a game. Then letting him come back in January for an official. I would just love to see Martin and Wilson causing havoc in the backfield for years to come. I realize recruits learn more from their officials, but this atmosphere is something that isn't present with every team. I just want to give him another reason to choose us over Illinois.
