A few things that i have heard where they will be.
Monday:
Meyer and Coombs will be making stops at Cass Tech to see new 2014 commitment Damon Webb, other 2014 recruits LB William White and LB Gary Hosey, and 2015 prospects RB Mike Weber and QB Jayru Campbell.
They will also be stopping by Southfield High School. Southfield H.S. is home to new 2014 DE offer Lawrence Marshall Jr.
I have no hard information but I would also expect them to be at Detroit Loyola H.S. to see 2014 DE offer Malik McDowell.
The Buckeye staff will also be in Georgia today seeing 2014 WR Demarre Kitt at Sandy Creek. You got to believe they'll be all over the state of Georgia as well.
Chicago area: Hinton and Vrabel there. Taking looks at Nyles Morgan, Clifton Garrett, Jamarco Jones, Mikale Wilbon. Also 2014 TE Ian Bunting and 2014 LB Vontae Diggs.
*** Urban Meyer will be visiting Jamarco Jones and Clifton Garrett, personally. Others will be receiving visits from assistants.
Tuesday:
Meyer and Drayton will be in the St. Louis area seeing 2014 OL offer Roderick Johnson. They will also check out Ezekiel Elliott's basketball game.
Quincy Wilson let me know that Coach Coombs will be in to see him and Jordan Scarlett at University School.
Nice, go get them boys!
Love how relentless our coaching staff is!! Gotta believe it makes a HUGE difference to these recruits how interactive our coaches are going to see these kids at their schools,going to ball games,going to their homes,and going to see their other activities and interests.I know other coaches make in-home visits and visit schools,but these guys get treated like family right from the jump.Gotta believe we get big time points for this in the eyes of recruits.
SCOTTC.
Nice move by Urbz to visit Webb the day after he commits. This can't hurt future recruiting at Cass Tech.

A few different places are reporting they'll be in the Chicago area too; Jamarco Jones/Clifton Garrett/Mikale Wilbon.
Plant more flags in Michigan, please!
Edited for what I found out about the Chicago area.
Anyone know where that Jayru Campbell is leaning too? Proabably too early, but I could see him as more of a Spread guy. Not really prototypical of Hoke/Borgess's offense. Might be able to steal that kid as well.
Updated again.
Urban Meyer will be visiting Clifton Garrett and Jamarco Jones, himself.
Easy to tell OSU really wants Jamarco and Clifton.
It's a huge recruiting tool to have Urban "rock star" Meyer stroll in to a kid's high school. He's very recognizable and I'm sure it creates a buzz through the entire school for the day and gets the recruit lots of attention
Could be a dumb question, but will the staff even need to land a QB in 2015? We have Cardale in waiting, JT in the 2013 class, and if we land Watson in the 2014 class the QB position will be loaded. Would be better off taking an ATH who could play QB if needed?
I was wondering the same thing. I think it depends like you said what happens with the 2014 Qb situation with Watson as well as who wins the backup spot once Guiton graduates and if we have any attrition after that
It is a good idea to get at least 1 QB every year. You can't bank on every high QB recruit to be a stud. How many people thought Troy Smith would end up the better QB over Justin Zwick coming out of HS (even though they were the same year)?
Pretty sure the staff is going to get a QB every year.
Hardest-working men in show business.
Because of injury, a possible transfer out due to playing time, early entry, or a kid just not panning out... It is very important to keep at least 4 QBs on roster under scholarship.
I understand that, but does anyone actually believe the kids we are going after are going to ride the bench for 2-3 years? I don't see too many 4-5* kids waiting in line that long. I was very impressed that Barrett was willing to redshirt, but I don't see him waiting til his junior or senior year to play.
At Florida with Urban at the helm:
2006 - Tim Tebow (5*)
2007 - John Brantley (4*), Cam Newton (5*), Bryan Waggener (3*)
2008 - None
2009 - Jordan Reed (4*)
2010 - Trey Burton (3*), Tyler Murphy (2*)
I know it's been mentioned before, but does anyone have an idea on how many scholarships are available in '14. I've seen on here anywhere from 14-22. Staff input is welcomed.
The last I read it was going to be around 18, but some people are hoping we bank schollies from this year and use them for next year and try to reach around 20-21.
Around 18 is the raw number, with attrition it will be close to 20-22
I went on another site and looked at the roster, there are only 11 scholarship juniors on the team, plus the rb Hall means the number is twelve scholarships open for next year. That doesn't count attrition or third year players that leave early. Roby, Shazier, Miller and so forth. You can usually add 4 or 5 spots that open up in a years time, so there could be as many as 17 ships for next year, not counting NFL defections. That is a ballpark figure, things are always in flux when you are talking about young men.
Also there are no scholarships for this year that can be banked contrary to that popular notion. For every ship that is handed out now, at 22 ships, one player will have to leave the team.

Also, hopefully urban is getting some R&R in sometime soon. When they showed him at the basketball game yesterday he seemed pretty beat.

Per Jeb Blazevich tweet, Coach Withers visited him today, too.
Updated with a note on where Coombs will be today.
If we could somehow pull McDowell and flip Drake Harris, we could end up with the top 3 players in M*chigan for the 2014 class... That's a major kick in the balls for the skunkbears.
EDIT: Also, fun fact, recruits #4 and 5 on 247 for the state of M*chigan in 2014 are committed to Wisconsin and Sparty, respectively, so the skunkbears could be shut out among the top 5 recruits in their own backyard. Awesome.
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
So Elliott's game is like 10 minutes from where I live. Would it be an awful idea if I went there to try and get a pic with Coach Meyer?
C.L.E Man I rep my town, everyday bleed that orange and brown.
If it makes you feel any better, you probably wouldn't be the only one wanting a pic with him.
Would be a bad idea if you are a registered pedophile :/
HA! that I am not!
C.L.E Man I rep my town, everyday bleed that orange and brown.
i say go i def would
mark may wins douchebag of the year... again
I decided to go. Urban showed up with Stan Drayton and Zeke's family. He was nice enough to let me get a picture with him. Pretty cool guy!
C.L.E Man I rep my town, everyday bleed that orange and brown.
That is fantastic! You'll have to post the pic!!
congrats!!
I can't wait until this is updated with "Urban Meyer and Tom Herman visit Dontre Wilson in DeSoto, TX."
