You can try to read into what a recruit, family member or coach really means, but what they say, how they say it, etc., doesn't often tell the true story. To say his Dad and/or family favors Cal, who knows? The family often favors a program closer to home if all things are close or equal. That might or might not be the case here.
What we can get out of this is that Vance and his family are going to sit down and talk and that his family is leaving the decision to Vance. One thing I get a kick out of, which we all do, is if a family member wants the kid to go to UConn, we're all like, "Listen to Aunt Marie for goodness sake!" But when a family member wants a program not named UConn, we're like, "Come on! Let the kid make his own decision."
If Vance is leaning one way or the other, it's hard to tell. He might already know where he wants to go, but needs to get around to telling the coaches that aren't getting him that he's going elsewhere. It could be that he's really wrestling between Cal & UConn and has yet to decide. Since he and his family seemed to really like both programs, I would be a tad surprised if he takes another visit, such as Zona, as someone thought there was some rumor about such. Recruits that feel that the schools they visited just seem to be missing something that's important, might take another visit, but they seem high on both programs. I guess I could seem him wait longer to make sure he's not recruited over, or wants to wait till the spring to see what the likely PT situation would look like, but that would surprise me a bit.
As some have pointed out, I too have a strong feeling that we'll hear something within a week or so.
