Alessi sounds like a commitment. Probably not, but the way it’s worded, it could be.

He gave almost the exact same wording on his Idaho offer.

maybe.... but it's amusing that his Idaho offer shows the Kibbie Dome picture that is YEARS old.... Shows the WAC logos that were removed in 2015.....

I don't think they have to decide until February. I suppose they can commit if they want, but most wait until they have several offers to see if their dream team comes through. Isn't that correct?

Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing -- that offers are the social media equivalent of lots of followers and they want to showboat a little. Out of the bunch, I figured there might be one or two who would feel thrilled to get an offer from MSU, accept right away, and feel relieved to put the grind of the recruiting process in the rearview mirror.

I think it's part of the game. Star ratings for recruits are basically a popularity contest. The recruiting sites aren't watching game tape, they're putting together a list based on what kind of interest a kid is getting. I wouldn't be surprised if it was largely based on some algorithm that takes into account offers, social media mentions, and other things that have nothing to do with what kind of football player they actually are. Get enough interest out there in the spring, then suddenly you've earned yourself another star, and subsequently start getting noticed by bigger and better programs.

Could be for '19 ?
