Best guess on when official visits are going to be allowed? — DJ K.
Not until 2021.
I am still in the process of reporting a story on this, which I hope to have ready next week. Though things are constantly in flux, and coronavirus numbers could, in theory, improve dramatically in the next six weeks, it doesn’t seem as though having visits will make sense during this calendar year. That is especially true if there happens to be a football season. Could you imagine any program allowing a prospect who traveled through an airport to come into their football building and interact with their current players? In what world would that make sense?
I actually think the probability of fall visits happening would improve if there is no football season. In that scenario, there would be no season to protect, and that would make for a more realistic environment for schools to welcome visitors — if we collectively can get a handle on the virus.
