Based on my DD's experience and those of her teammates, most girls won't be offered official visits until they have committed.  Now, if you have a VERY high level player, then you might get offers to officials before you're committed to help make a decision but that's very much the exception not the rule.  On my DD's team, which had 15+ D1 commits, I don't know of anyone taking more than 1 official, or taking it before they committed.

This was how things worked before the rule change last year, now, more schools are offering OV before commitments and girls are making use of the OV as a decision making tool.  Things have really changed and will be much clearer after the 2022s go through it all this summer and fall[/quote]

That's because the recruiting window has been both pushed back and compressed. It used to be that recruits would do unofficial visits as Freshman and Sophomores and get the offer at that time. Therefore OVs were almost always be reserved for commits. Now, no official or unofficial visits are allowed until Aug 1 before Junior year. No phone calls allowed before June 15 that year. So OVs are more in play for programs that have the budget. These will be offered to top recruits, by the top programs. They are not cheap for the programs. OVs are a great indication of interest and will hopefully work more like they are designed to.[/quote]
