Visits, visits and more visits  

Posted by Brooks

With school back in session for most (if not all) high school athletes, many have begun to pack their bags and head to universities across the country. That football "chill" is soon to be in the air and recruiting for the 2009 class is about to really heat up.

Only fitting since football is in the forefront of everyone's mind on a day like today (with the over-hyped "Collision at the Coliseum" set to kickoff tonight), USC has a bonanza of visitors on campus to watch the game. Noel Johnson, Kenny Boynton, Jordan Hamilton, Shaunessy Smith, Tyler Honeycutt, Jeremy Tyler, Renardo Sidney, Terrence Boyd, Josh Smith, Gary Franklin, Derrick Williams, Anthony Brown and Kyle Caudill will all be sitting in the Coliseum tonight and touring the campus this weekend. Talk about casting out a wide net! Geez.

Other schools with big weekends include Arizona (Abdul Gaddy), Duke (Andre Dawkins, Tyler Thornton, Josh Hairston and the Plumlee brothers), Notre Dame (Ryan Kelly) and Xavier (Chris Braswell and Kevin Parrom).

Bill Self is one coach that is doing the opposite of the above. He, instead of making a player come to him, is heading to Thomas Robinson's home for an in-home visit today (Saturday, September 13th).

In my opinion, college basketball is the greatest overall sport. March and April are my favorite times of the year. My wife says I have an obsession.
