Baby Gronk's Dad is probably having a stroke right now. He was taking his 10 year old around the country to colleges and doing these photoshoots. For those that don't know about this fraud, do a quick Google search.

Sadly, they're local to DFW. Frisco, I believe.

@HarryI wonder if this is related to the Ohio State AD talking about recruits starting to ask to be paid to make visits? Are they using the justification that they are posing in the school's uniform?

Yep, and the Dad was busted for selling steroids a few years ago as well.

Did not know that but also not surprised. Doesn't he claim he was a top prospect destined for the NFL if it weren't for a bad knee injury?

Yeah I heard that as well.

Zach Barnett’s article explains why this is a good thing and something schools want. 

Barnett is spot on: recruiting staffs need someone there to be the bad guy, and that can't be anyone on campus, it has to be the NCAA.

The coach in charge of the unofficial will not care about the time wasted by other staffers and those staffers don't have the power to say no unless the NCAA does it for them.

Without an outside force stepping in everybody will rightly feel like they are in a race where they have to do this, as otherwise the unofficial 4/5 star recruit on his visit will say:

"but the other university DID it! You guys don't like me / are no fun /don't respect my team mates I brought along."

Recruits only get so many Official Visits (I think it's 3)but are allowed to schedule as many Unofficial Visits as they want (because the school doesn't pay for it). In my daughters experience going through the volleyball recruiting process, the Visit experience was the same for her whether it was Official or Unofficial, the only difference is whether I had to pay for travel, lodging and food or not.  She loved the photoshoot at each of the schools and would look back at those pics, imagining herself representing that school, during the decision process. I guess I can see how local schools might get abused by recruits bringing friends along on visits, but to me that's more of the schools fault for not making it clear who the visit is for and what the recruit can expect vs anyone they bring along. I'm not a fan of this decision.

This changed this year --
The NCAA allows recruits an unlimited number of official visits to Division I schools. Recruits are limited to one per school, unless there is a head coaching change after their visit, in which they are permitted a second visit.

Is that new? 2021 volleyball recruiting didn’t work that way.  If that’s the case then I can see how the rule change would make sense.

The NCAA Division I Council announced on April 13, 2023 that they would no longer limit the number of official visits recruits can make to NCAA member schools. The change went into effect on July 1.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.
