And also it's not an "official visit".  It's an unofficial visit.  Difference being and official visit means Stanford will pay for everything for the visit-flight etc. That isn't going to happen for a walk on

Yep. If the walk-on takes an official visit (at Stanford's expense), that makes him a "recruited" walk-on. The coaches usually try to avoid that. A walk-on can take any number of unofficial visits (at his own expense) without becoming a "recruited" walk-on.
