Miller and Gibbs both took officials. I can't remember if Larrier's visit was official or unofficial since he had already taken an official in HS and it probably wasn't necessary for him. Transfers definitely take official visits.
How do we know he has no offer? Also, him telling recruiting guys that he had a visit for 4/18 is no different than what Vital and Thompson did.
You're right, I forgot, Miller and Gibbs did take officials. I wonder if you took all 5 officials as a senior in high school if you're allowed to take more as a transfer.
These recruiting experts live for reporting offers. If he has an offer right now, they'd report it. Why would they report a visit but not an offer? (It was only reported as "visit" not "official visit" like the other 2)
Vital's and Thompson's situation is very different. We know for a fact they were offered. We know for a fact they are on officials. I know for a fact both stayed at the Marriott in Hartford last night (haha) and I don't think Vann was there. We know for a fact Vann is not touring the campus with those two.
The fact we have not offered Vann (very well could happen during the visit) and might not be paying for his transportation, food and boarding could be very telling in our interest level.
Update: He'll be on campus tomorrow according to Ozzie
