This sounds the most logical, and I don't say that out of bias.
 
Think about it. Suppose he was ready to commit to us...
 
- If I'm his parent I tell him to make sure he isn't making a hasty decision. Make sure he gets some perspective by visiting other schools.
- If I'm Briscoe and really excited/anxious to commit, but respect my parents enough to take their advice to make other visits ... I make those visits ASAP.
 
other things that are good about this, as someone who went through the recruiting process ...
 
- The NCAA forbids a lot of things on visits by younger players like this.
- It seemingly would take a significant impression to change this kids mind, which is not likely to happen without a full visit complete with all the bells/whistles.
- He's a relatively unknown 2015 guy, not a big name top 50 2013 recruit... there will not be much if any anticipation by the local fans/students. [see: Tobias Harris]
- The players he meets on his visit will probably not give him much attention considering how young he is (most will be gone by the time he is a frosh), AND how impending their upcoming season is.
 
He is only going to be able to get an intangible "feeling" from making other visits due to how limited the visit will have to be, and its unlikely that that would be enough to change the mind of a kid that was otherwise ready to make such an early commit.
