VOLS- I'd be a silent until NSD, ad announce on ESPN.
Miami (Fl) - Beach, maybe catch a Heat game.
Bama- Just to make Saban think he had a chance of landing me. I'd probably silently commit to him and their coaches to screw them over on NSD.
USCw- I'd imagine Kiffin shows his visitors a great time. I also imagine the hostesses being kind of attractive haha.
Notre Dame- I'd give many interviews after my visit saying how overrated that area and school actually are, and how I want to win conference championships wherever I go.

Tennessee. Too easy.
Notre Dame. Tradition.
Michigan. Just a notch below Notre Dame.
Texas. To see what the big deal is.
Florida. To see what my future opponents look like up close and personal.

This is almost verbatim what I was going to write! Similar tastes!
I would throw in Yale instead of Notre Dame though...Nerds can party and my visit would be a big event!

Probably.
I reserve the right to change this.

No Appalachian Mountain schools? I thought for sure you would throw in a WVU....

Mine would be:
Hawaii - 'nuff said.
Colorado - never been there, would like to see it
Miami - See Colorado
Oregon - See Colorado (and Nike swag)
Stanford - See Miami
I have been to Notre Dame and Texas several times, so that's why they aren't on my list.

I would drive there for unofficials.
I would take advantage of every unofficial/official I could.

Tennessee- and for several unofficials too.
Notre Dame- to stand on the field and to see Touchdown Jesus. Hopefully for a win vs USC.
Duke (after the season so I could go to a basketball game).
LSU- Never been to Death Valley.
Oregon- to hang out in the area in/around Eugene.

Kevin
Always wondered this. Does Hawaii only offer prospects they think they have a shot at? They could use up all their money on folks taking throw away visits to the beach.
