I think people forget about things like just meeting him and seeing what kind of person he is, is a pretty big deal. Also, coaches want kids to visit and get a good grasp of what to expect as far as surroundings so nothing is a surprise down the road. I totally understand why they want a kid to visit before officially committing.

This. How can a kid seriously commit without ever having been to the school? What if he comes down here and hates Walk-ons, is scared of the live tiger and thinks BR is not as fun as Starkvillee?

Makes sense. Before you count a kid as a commit, have him visit, show him around. Make sure he doesn't send any red flags with his behavior and make sure he likes it. If you like the kid and the kid is still enthusiastic at the end of the visit, then make it official.
