I like the angle of taking all your visits to SEC schools. But I would make it interesting my meticulously documenting--as much as state law allows--all the extra incentives they offer along the way. Then I'd make it public after I committed to Michigan. (Of course, there is a good chance there is some degree of this happening at Michigan, too. In that case it'd be a case of the pot calling the kettle black, so I wouldn't make it public.)

If it's legal in those states. Not sure whether it is.

Take all of my visits, have a blast, and then I like the idea of committing to Ohio St and backing out but I could never wear any of their gear.
August 10th, 2016 at 6:22 PM ^
Visit USC, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Florida (any team in Florida really) and Ole Miss.
Take the cash from the bagmen (all of them)
Commit to Michigan.

Have my entre recruitment come down to one of those signing day pressers with OSU, MSU, and ND as the 3 hats on the table. Lead people to believe it is a MSU/OSU battle with OSU leading and then during said commitment pressers pull out Michigan hat.

I know that some of the recruits and their families have put together a list of things to consider. Many of them are kind of obvious, but here are a few off the top of my head.
- The kind of football team . . . where are they ranked? What do you see happening? It would be hard to go to a lesser school. However,
- Academics. I'd rather be at Stanford or an Ivy League school or Texas or Michigan than a school with subpar academics. (Alabama, Florida State, LSU).
- Distance from family. This isn't absolutely critical, but there is something to be said for being within several hours drive of home. DPJ, Hudson, are guys this would matter for.
- Program. Some schools just don't have the major you are interested in. If you wanted a particular kind of engineering, it would be hard to go somewhere that didn't have it.
- Scheme and your skill set. I could see a pro-style QB coming to Michigan. It makes less sense if you are a spread QB. You want to go somewhere that fits your strengths.
- Depth chart. Again, this is minor, especially for a 5 star guy. But playing time is sometimes an issue.
- Friends and fellow recruits. Sometimes you want to go to a place where you're going to be playing with guys you actually like.
- Support system. The network to help you succeed and do well is also pretty important.

Give as many conflicting reports as posisble to the recruiting services just to mess with people. Ever changing top 10 list, new leader each visit, etc.
