My guess would be Robertson is already sold on Stanford, and is waiting to use his OV for the Big Visit of the commits in January.  Though if he visits Low APR U he can certainly swing by and visit Stanford, unless doing so violates some rule of official visits. (Double-dipping on one official visit to see a second school; I could see the NCAA creating some rule against that.)

This is exactly my question.  Robertson has yet to visit Stanford.  If you were in his shoes, with Stanford as your top choice, and you hadn't yet visited the campus, wouldn't you feel quite compelled to visit Stanford on your trip the the Bay Area to see Berkeley?  I'm not sure the NCAA is sophisticated enough or runs into this situation enough with other schools, that it wouldn't allow "double dipping" visits, but i have no idea. 

Perhaps it would be construed as bad form on the part of Ca.l, but don't you have to feel confident standing on your own merits in these situations?  I mean, shouldn't Ca.l welcome Robertson checking out Stanford?  Maybe he doesn't like it, or even if he does, it's best to know where you stand ASAP in recruiting, isn't it?  I don't think Stanford ever refuses to let a recruit take other trips.  In fact, Stanford may encourage it.  Perhaps see David Long?

Robertson has said that he will take his official visit to Stanford after football season, so I don't quite understand the hand-wringing.

Maybe the following will help clarify the situation?
