I'll be doing my best over the next few weeks to follow which prospects the coaches check up on during the spring evaluation period. A few members of the defensive staff went out last week, but this is the first week that the majority of the staff will be hitting the road.
Below are about two-dozen visits I've been able to confirm so far. If you'd like to learn more on the spring evaluation period and how it all works, I provided two direct links below. Basically, the staff is allowed 168 visits between now May 31. Two coaches visiting a prospect at the same time - which as you'll see below happens regularly - is considered two visits. The 2015 - 2016 Recruiting Guide is the more informative link. Check that out if you want all the details.
