What does a handshake icon mean in context of a football recruit referring to a campus visit in a tweet?

In the bigger picture, it does seem people were being a little too Debbie Downer about what they saw shaping up for the 2019 class in February. There are more offers and the vibe seems to be more interest from top targets for 2019 than there was for 2018.

For the whole of 2018, 247 reported 54 offers.  By April 6, 2018, there are already 54 reported offers for 2019 recruits. We obviously don't know exactly how many there will be when all said and done, but it sure seems a safe bet to assume 60-70 at least.  Spring visits are still continuing and Summer camps - that usually result in multiple offers - haven't happened yet either.  And there will likely be some offers in Fall too.
