What should I wear? This sounds weird, but I don't really know what is common dress, etc. for these deals. Any help would be great.

Be yourself at all times!!!!
While I agree with TR to "be yourself," if "yourself" is ripped jeans, t-shirts with holes in them and flip-flops, I might reevaluate that form of dress. Best advice my son ever got was when he was 14 from a coach who helped set him up with his first showcase...all he said was: "look like a ballplayer." Take it from there.
P.S. Just in case no one has ever mentioned it to you, a firm handshake and looking right at the person you are shaking hands with gives a better first impression than almost anything else. Good luck!

From our limited experience, "casual dress clothes" seemed appropriate. Examples: khaki pants (like Dockers) with a nice but casual shirt with buttons (short sleeved polo, or long sleeved plaid or stripe in cooler weather). And as the two posters above indicated, be polite and respectful, but relax and be yourself. Good luck!
Wear something that you would feel comfortable and confident. Your nicest school clothes.
Leave the earring out (if you have one). Many college coaches don't want their players wearing them.
AND...put the phone on silent, or better yet, turn it off!! You do NOT want to be interrupted during this time...unless your mom is dying!!! 
Would ya mind letting us know how the visit goes?

plan dressing business casual (& stow the flip flops),
you can always borrow ripped jeans & t-shirts from the players after you arrive on campus
.
and don't forget to shave and disgard the chewing gum and be respectful to your parents if they are part of the interview !!!

Have you been to a high school recently?
