Cox will not take official visits until fall. At least thats what her dad was quoted as saying in a recent article regarding her list being cut to six schools.

O my...if Walz is able to pull those two, they could be a real force in a couple of years.

Official visits can't take place until a player's junior year in high school and then only during Contact Periods. We are currently in an NCAA-mandated Quiet Period, which is defined as:
During a quiet period a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents, and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high schools. Coaches may write or telephone college-bound student-athletes or their parents during this time.
The Quiet Period lasts until July 5. That is the beginning of an Evaluation Period which is:
During an evaluation period a college coach may watch college-bound student-athletes compete, visit their high schools, and write or telephone student-athletes or their parents. However, a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents off the college’s campus during an evaluation period.
The Evaluation Period lasts all summer except for brief spans of Dead Period, which allows no contact whatsoever. The 2015-2016 recruiting calendar isn't out yet, but typically a Contact Period doesn't happen until early September, so that's the earliest you might expect a recruit to make an official visit. Unofficial visits, however, can be taken whenever the recruit wishes since she, or her parents, are paying for it.

Off-campus contact is prohibited during a Quiet Period, but recruits can make both official and unofficial visits during that time. See, e.g., this guide from Stanford.

Everybody keeps saying if only Jeff Walz this, and if only Jeff Walz that. If only when does he win a championship? That's what I want to know. As long as Geno and CD are at UConn, if only Jeff is not winning an NC
