There are other mentions by WI HS Prep reporters that the five schools getting a visit don't mean the top 5. I still don't think he's coming to UW (no schollies) but it's a bit premature to say that the instate schools (especially marquette) are out because they won't be getting OFFICIAL visits. They've gotten numerous unofficial visits each throughout the recruiting process.
If it was a Michigan kid that MSU was hard after and he decided against taking an official visit to MSU and gave the reasoning that he had unofficially visited a few times in the past and was already familiar with things...I'D BE WORRIED.

There are huge differences between an official and an unofficial visit. You can't wine, dine, transport and lodge a prospective recruit to the same extravagant extent on an unofficial visit as you are allowed to during an official visit. Really, it's not even close.
