Be sure and schedule all 5 of your official visits as soon as possible. The sooner you can schedule your official visits, the sooner you can make a final college decision. There are a lot of stories out there from people about how much FUN your recruiting visit should be and it should BE FUN, but be sure you approach your recruiting visit like a business trip.
When I took my recruiting trip to Stanford my senior year, I had a blast! I had a chance to meet OUTSTANIDNG players from all over the country. I was teamed up with a great guy on the team to show me around campus, classes, and introduce me to the Palo Alto area. We went out to an AMAZING restaurant in Palo Alto. There was about 20 of us in the restaurant chowing down…I am glad I didnt have to pay that bill 
In the midst of all my fun, I made sure that I kept my wits, and I approached my visit as a business trip.
Why is this important?
One of the first things a coach will do once you leave is call the person that hosted you on your trip and find out all about you from your host. He will grill the person with questions such as:
Do you feel he could be an asset to our program?
Did you have any problems with him this weekend?
Would you want him as a teammate?
These are only a few questions the coach will be asking your host. Obviously, there will be a ton of questions he will want answers to if he is going to offer you a scholarship. Coaches today are looking for kids that are great people both on and off the field.
4 things to keep in mind for your recruiting trip:
1. Be sure that you are prepared for your trip. Talk to people about the questions you want answers to, so when you make your final decision you will feel great about your choice in your heart.
2. DO THE RIGHT THING on campus. There will be times on your visit that you may find yourself in different situations…it is critical that you always do the right thing on your trip. Do not give the coach any reason not to offer you a scholarship.
3. Talk to as many of the current players as possible. Find out how they feel about the campus, coaches, other players, professors, etc. This is important
4. Also, be sure to talk to as many students as possible as well. You can learn a lot from talking to the student body.
