During an unofficial visit, can a prospective student-athlete engage in drills or skill assessment activities?

During an unofficial visit, a prospective student-athlete is not allowed to engage in drills or skill assessment activities. This rule is in place to maintain the integrity of the recruiting process and ensure that such visits do not provide an unfair advantage or create a competitive environment that is typically reserved for official visits.

Unofficial visits are intended for prospective athletes to experience the campus, meet coaching staff and current team members, and gain insights into the team culture and academic offerings without engaging in any formal evaluations or competitions. This restriction helps ensure that the focus remains on exploring the institution and assessing mutual fit rather than evaluating athletic performance during the visit. Engaging in drills or skill assessments would blur the lines between unofficial and official visits and could lead to abuses of the recruiting process.
