With all the visitors coming in over the next few weeks, it's time we had a separate thread. So far, we have 39 signed up (24 on May 30th and 15 on June13th). From all indications, this is one of, if not the best group we've had. It looks like all have either committed or are warm with the exception of one.
It's interesting to see all the strategies from other Big 10 teams; for example, Wisconsin has 48 coming in over 5 weeks with varying interests and commitments to other teams. Iowa has 21 over 7 weeks, again with varying interests. I'm not seeing anything that remotely resembles the "Summer Splash".
I have not had the time to dig deep to see how many commits we've gotten from this event in the past, but as I remember it's between 5 and 10. It is a great way to showcase Minnesota's lakes without the reputational cold. I'd like to see it closer to 10 commits this year. Also, here's a Sports Illustrated article on our recruiting efforts:
