"It's a big thing, but I don't think it changes much because you still only get one official visit per school. So, realistically, you go to the top schools you really want to go to."

*****

"Yeah, that's awesome. I think that it's a good thing, but I'm really only going to take official visits to schools I want to play at."


*****

"I think it's great. I mean, I don't know why it would be limited anyways, but I don't think it will change things for most. It really doesn't matter to me since I'm committed, but I would probably only visit schools that I was interested in if I wasn't. You'd waste a lot of time with summer training if you were going on visits to a bunch of schools."


*****

"I think the rule is interesting, for sure. I'm not necessarily sure how it will affect the quality of the visits or if they will deteriorate because of it, but it's definitely interesting. I think the reason they had it at five before was so you could narrow down your top schools and it helped you make your decision. I don't think I would take more than five, though."

*****

"No, I did not know about the unlimited official visits. I think it's cool that if you want to go on a lot of official visits, you can, but I am only going to go on visits to schools I am interested in."

*****

"I just heard about that, and I think it's pretty cool. It's awesome that you can choose to take as many official visits as you want."


*****

"I can definitely go to more schools."


*****

"I'm just gonna take all my visits. That's what I'm going to try to do."

*****

"I think it's a very good rule change, just the opportunity to explore new things. You could take some for vacation if you want and some that are more serious. You can really explore your options now. You don't just have five schools that you can pick from anymore and you can explore everybody."

*****

"It impacts it a lot because it helps me be able to go to more schools and take an in-depth visit, and I think it's good for all the players."


*****

"I feel like that's kind of good. That's good for people who might not be able to afford the flight or some things. So that's really cool."


*****

"I love it. It's going to widen people's options and not just make you stick to visiting a few schools. This will give guys a chance to enjoy the hospitality from all of the schools, so I think it is great for the upcoming classes."

*****

"It's something I see, but it's something that comes in one ear and goes out the other now that I'm committed. I feel like it's good for the other prospects and recruits to be able to go on any official visits that they want to. I think it's a good thing."

*****

"I think that definitely changes a lot. Right now, I've been getting recruited hard and it's been a lot for me just in these early stages. I can't imagine what it's going to be like with unlimited official visits."

*****

"It probably will (affect his recruitment and visit schedule). Now you aren't limited to five and you can go wherever you want. I feel like my class will be going everywhere."

*****

"That means a lot, going on unlimited official visits. I don't really think about it too much because I'm still a freshman, so I've got time. The official visits are going to come when they come."

*****

"I feel like it's pretty cool, of course, but I feel like it's kind of beneficial as well because you get to go see things on an official. Nothing's better than an official visit, so I feel like getting to take all your official visits, you get a good feel for every school. You don't really get a feel for every school by taking an unofficial."

*****

"I think the rule is good. I'll probably take advantage of it just to see what else is out there and what other schools have to offer, really just to reassure me about my solid decision with Michigan."

*****

"I did not hear about that. I think it could most definitely affect my visit schedule. I'll probably do that (take extra official visits) then. I think that it will probably reduce the amount of offers that coaches throw out, too, so I like the rule."
