That's a good theory to fit the timeline.  But why would Rice spend time visiting a college she had already crossed off her list?   If she had made a definite decision why not tell Stanford immediately because she would know the coaching staff has to make other plans.  Of course, there's the possibility she came to Stanford and decided while here to cross the Cardinal off her list but that doesn't seem likely.
