Reading the tea leaves: does the fact that the coaches are out shoring up the class with in-home visits further indicate that some of the hiring decisions have been made?  Wouldn\'t one think that Shaw would be in Palo Alto holding interviews if searches were still on-going?  

Based on other things Shaw has said, no, it doesn\'t mean that. He said during his opening press conference that he was flying to Hawaii that evening to meet with a recruit. It\'s good news that the recruit is committed, but it\'s neither good nor bad news that Shaw is visiting.
