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

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.
