In reply to: One recent excuse I think that does have merit posted by mocopdx

Lots of kids visit ND and don't commit to ND. I don't think ND's official visit hit rate on kids is any higher than other powers.

I do think ND getting kids on campus may be more impactful for kids to determine if ND is a fit or not. I would imagine there are an equal number of kids who visit who realize ND is not what they're looking for in a school.

So net-net, I don't believe official visits would have resulted in us landing more players, but I do believe it could have an impact on kids maybe transferring down the road because they liked the idea of ND more than the campus and environment.
