Not fully understanding the process, it feels as if words 'offer' and 'committed' are simply acknowledgements of interest in the recruitment process and that a letter of intent is where something of substance materializes (maybe ?).

For instance, what if 20 of these young men pulled the trigger on their MSU offer today. Is MSU committed and done recruiting? What if a stud comes along later?
If you’ve got 20 kids that you feel are a similar talent, at the same position, you offer all 20 in this hypothetical situation, and say you’re only taking 3 or 4 guys at this position, so if you want in, better to join up sooner than later. This offer might not be there if we fill our spots. Now, if there’s a player that you really want, they’ll save a spot for him.

You can’t go out there and offer 20 kids if you have 20 spots. The volume is a necessity, and the offers are conditional on a few things (performance, injuries, grades, staying out of trouble). I’ve seen plenty of times where a kid committed, didn’t improve like they thought he would, and the coaches encouraged him to go elsewhere. I think there was a LB from MN that we did that to a few years back.

As far as I am aware athletes can take up to but not more than five, paid for by the university, recruiting visits when and if they feel like it. As for the kid taking a visit to Florida despite having verbally committed to Notre Lame is completely up to him AND Florida. It's basically a free vacation for the athletes as the program is trying to wine and dine 'em into changing their mind and their commitment. Does it happen, of course. Will it happen, probably not, but those SEC schools have what I would imagine is a ridiculous budget when it comes to recruiting.

And that doesn’t even include what goes to the players.

Very good athlete. Could probably play multiple positions. His 100, 40 and LJ are very good. His LJ would be an all class state record in Montana.

He got offered by Oregon State. Looks like his mom went to MSU though. I bet if he stays FCS he goes to MSU, but it’s a long shot.
