I don't recall it being done at any other school at this point in the calendar, though I certainly don't follow other schools as closely as Miami, but it can't be the worst strategy. Mario is a respected recruiter, but he has to wash away the stink of recent Miami history and only has a limited time to do it before the elite 2023 kids start zeroing in on their top schools. To me, this particular weekend isn't about locking in commitments, it's about making sure we have a seat at the table for these various recruitments going forward.
Plus, how can a January trip to Miami for some of the northern state kids hurt?
