This article is a reminder that a scholarship offer is fairly meaningless until a letter of intent is signed: https://www.si.com/college-football..._campaign=si-ncaafb&xid=socialflow_twitter_si
From the article:
Over the last eight recruiting cycles, Power 5 schools made more than 101,000 football scholarship offers in order to fill about 12,000 available scholarships. For the 2019 cycle alone, the 65 programs made more than 15,000 scholarship offers in order to secure what is expected be about 1,600 signees. That’s an average of about 237 offers per school per year.
In what is believed to be a first for a college program, Louisville hit the 400-offer mark in 2017, and six programs have delivered at least 400 offers this year. One-fifth of Power 5 teams handed out at least 300 offers this cycle, for classes that do not often exceed 25 members. Tennessee and Syracuse each distributed more than 440 offers this cycle.
"One major college staff member described a scholarship offer as a reservation at a restaurant. 'The reservation doesn’t mean s--- until you show up at the restaurant,' he says. 'Certain restaurants will hold your table. Others, 30 seconds after you’re not there, will give away your seat.'”
