I can't explain why some coaches choose to not bring the recruits to campus for an official visit until after they've already committed, and in some cases, have already signed their NLI.
D1 baseball programs are allowed to provide official visits to recruits beginning Sept. 1 of the recruit's junior year of HS. (It's the same date for softball and lacrosse, and Aug. 1 of junior year for most other D1 sports.)

It's a money thing I would imagine. Wasting a lot of money on kids that don't end up committing to you.

I can also imagine having a 15 year old stay overnight going to college parties could be problematic.
