Rhetorical questions.
Why? Did we cool on him?
Did the lure of competing in the FCS playoffs win him over?
Did he fear he couldn't compete at UConn's level?

Whenever considering why someone we offered goes to a FCS school, please add to your list the obvious alternative explanation which is that despite what you saw on the internet the recruit did not have an offer from UConn.

Yessir!

Any word on who this is?

… or received an offer early in the process when staff was offering other kids @ the school (two other were offered @ Kenwood the same day).




Coach Mora (and a number of the staff) “liked” this tweet so one could assume it was legit @ the time and expired or was conditional.

Yes, a subset of "not having an offer" is that you had one at some time but it expired or was otherwise pulled.

Could be a tag on to Hilliard/Allen last night or another one…

Most offers are non-commitable offers. These are offers made to kids to show the school has serious interest in the player, but the kid can't commit to the school. Generally, the school will want to get a kid to campus to evaluate the recruit before he is able to commit. And, for example, if a school offers 7 QBs, the school will have a pecking order of the recruits and they will wait for their top choices to make their choices known for the school to move down the list.

Another term fits the bill- conditioned offers. Often kids are told they are x in the pecking order for a position and said offer is based on a full transcript review and a visit. This gives the staff time to dig deeper on the kid.

The other aspect- senior tape matters.

I would only point out, as I have before, that what you are describing, while it happens all the time, is simply not an "offer." An offer by definition is something that the other side can accept and then the two sides have an agreement.

I am not picking on you -- I know players and the internet media refer to indications of interests as "offers" all the time, but they simply aren't, and if we don't use words in accordance with their meaning then we're all reduced to guessing at what others mean.

Adding to all, this is the fact that some kids are eager to broadcast their conditional offers, and some kids choose to keep them quiet

From a legal standpoint you are correct as verbal scholarship offers are non-binding on either side.
