Uncommittable Offer

said he doesn't even know what an uncommitable offer is....
Yup... basically dangling bait in front of a recruit so the school will be in the back of his mind, just in case shite doesn't panout with guys higher on the list. Good backup plan tactic.

an uncommittable offer is simply a device opposing fans use to explain why a recruit picks a rival school.

For Alabama, it would be the "plan b" guys.
Plan A guys, like LF, Wallace, Tabor, Roc all have committable offers from Alabama.
The "plan b" guys behind them can't commit until the status of the "plan a" guys clear up.

All kidding aside, we offer kids early who have a lot of potential, but we may want some more film of them to see if they are a good fit. The uncommittable offer let's the kid know we've noticed them, and we want to evaluate them further.
So what exactly are you offering?

Didn't Nat King Cole's daughter sing a song about "Uncommittable" ??

So then it is not an offer.
Every school sends out "Offer" letters to prospects that they are very interested in. The "Offer" letters are always contingent on several factors such as becoming academically qualified, further evaluation by the coaching staff, availability in the class, etc.
Come on this isn't too difficult........ Schools send out 100+ Offer letters and only have 25 spots available.
Let's say the school only needs 2 RB's in the class, but "Offers" 6, because not all 6 are going to be interested in their school. The school ranks the 6 from 1 to 6. If #4 and #5 want to commit in the Spring, but the school thinks #1 is going to commit at the All-Star game at the end of the year to them and #3 is going to wait until mid-season to make their decision, then you aren't going to take #5 and #6's commitments right when they want to commit.
It's a big game between the recruits and the school. The LSU and Bama's of the world are going to be able to attract the best recruits just as the Top rated recruits are going to get the most "Offers". Both date each other and tell each other sweet nothings and then when both want to "commit" to each other the prospect "commits" and the school accepts the "commitment".

So 5 and 6 don't have offers because you aren't actually offering anything

It's you have an offer, but before we can take your commitment we have to wait to see if we are gonna get the player that's better than you first. If we don't get the better player, then we'll take you. You don't mind waiting a year to see if we really want you do you?

An uncommitable offer is what LSU offers any recruit that chooses to go somewhere else. At least it seems that way.

How is it that these players turn down the benefits from other schools to have the honor of being a UGA Bulldog, but can't keep themselves from getting suspended?
Come'on man... it's easy to turn down a bag of cash, but nearly impossible to let the ipod sit in your team mates locker unattended.

Good post. These offers would be better called "conditional offers". Sometimes that condition is that they need to come perform in front of the staff or they need to achieve certain grades. Sometimes that condition will be that the 4 or so guys on the board above them either pass or underperform in the coaches' eyes.
