For those who have been scrolling on their twitter feeds recently or anyone who has read the MWC Recruiting Roundups over the past month or so knows that many teams around the Mountain West have already hosted some recruits on Junior Day visits, and more are yet to come. But what exactly are Junior Days and what is the point of them?
What are Junior Days?
Basically, they are a very well organized unofficial visit. They are mainly made up of high school juniors who will be seniors next fall (although sophomores visit too sometimes) and in some ways serve as the unofficial kickoff to recruiting the next class (although coaches have been identifying and building relationships with players long before these events).
