If it counts toward a limited number of official visits then no, but otherwise yes, your kid has the right idea to use it as a dry run for schools they are more interested in.

Depends on if it's an official visit or not.

Great idea to go. It’s the same as getting practice interviewing when you’re not interested in the company!

DC is a junior just starting to attract D1 attention. First invite from a school DC likely has zero interest in, but kid feels it’s a perfect opportunity to go through the motions so they can experience/understand the recruitment process, learn how to speak with coaches, ask questions etc. We are pretty hands off parents with sports and only look to course correct when asked by DC. Any strong sentiment one way or another for allowing this visit?
