The official reason that Shaw has given is that he wants the official visit to be an opportunity for future teammates to bond before coming to Stanford.

Thanks.
Bonding during the weeks of practices and games before school starts in the fall seems to work for the other fall sports.

Bonding?!? What a stupid reason! 

We redshirt freshmen-it's what we do. They have a year to bond. . . .unless the lack of a strength and conditioning program forces us to burn shirts. Even then Bondo will help more than bonding.
