On the Trail: Spotlight weekend in tow at Duke, Louisville & Syracuse

In what is looking to be the last extensive list of visitors this fall, programs such as Duke, Syracuse, VCU, Louisville and NC State will play host to some of their top targets from the 2017 class. A bevy of others will hit the road this weekend from the senior crop but so too will be some of the more talented and promising ballplayers from the junior class, all of which can be found within this week’s On the Trail.
