The first thing we have to do is recognize the fact that reported Power 5 offers aren’t always accurate.  Sometimes a recruit may mistake interest for a real offer.  Some “offers” are contingent upon things, such as weight gain, what decision another recruit makes, etc., but they are reported as regular offers anyway.  These days some recruits will even false report offers on Twitter to raise their profile and try to gain real interest from schools.  That doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen.
