I wrote a story for today's paper about Auburn's relatively quiet upcoming recruiting weekend. The Tigers are still awaiting big decisions from a few big-name recruits. Here's how the article starts:
Read the full thing here. And follow the blog on Twitter.AUBURN, Ala. — With national signing day less than two weeks away, most of the work for Auburn’s 2010 recruiting class has been done.
It will be a quiet weekend on the Plains, with no official visitors scheduled as of Thursday, according to Auburn’s primary recruiting Web sites.
The Tigers have 23 commits for 2010, with the possibility of signing 28 on Feb. 3. But they’ve got feelers out to a few big-name recruits who will be making their final decisions soon.
Auburn, which currently ranks fourth nationally in Rivals.com’s recruiting rankings, is still in the mix for running back Marcus Lattimore, defensive end Corey Lemonier and defensive tackles Jeffrey Whitaker and Byran Jones.

AB,
What do they do on "unofficial visits"?
They're pretty much the same except the school cannot pay for transportation, lodging, meals or entertainment. Basically, it's all on the recruit's dime.
Andy: I was told ( by someone that at least "might" know) that an unofficial visit was the same as an official visit, except the school couldn't pay transportation. Once on campus they could be treated the same as official.
ie: Meals, lodging, etc. could still be paid by the school. Was my source wrong?
Not according to this chart:

Ok, thanks. That's a very good fact sheet.
