Every school in the country does this. Not all offers are commitable offers. Ask Devin Burns and Georgia. The kid was offered early in the process, went there to commit on a visit, and was told they weren't going to accept his commitment. Do you know the amount of offers that are given every year from coaches around the country? Sometimes a kid gets an offer while coaches have higher rated players still undecided, so they may decide not to take the commitment from a lower rated player at the time. I have heard that we have a pretty decent shot at signing Cam Newton. So if you consider that maybe the coaches only want to sign two quarterbacks this year, think they've got a good shot at Newton, and only take one high school guy, then they would probably want to make sure they evaluate well and commit the best they can get. I think in Broadway's case he was given an offer, but the coaches want to see him at the Big Dawg Camp before they decide whether or not to really push for a commitment.I don't know many schools going around offering scholarships and then when the kid is ready to commit, naw no thanks we decided we don't want you anymore.
