Once someone commits and shuts down his recruitment, they stop updating his profile.

The big difference here is that Tyrann earned his offers on the camp circuit, which is a pretty regular course for how guys who are "off the radar" in their rising-senior summer blow up. There was anticipation and excitement about his recruitment and commitment even though it came over the summer.

At the time LSU got the commitment from Mathieu he sure was a "diamond in the rough." He got his hype from the Tennesse Camp which was more than a month prior to LSU offering/his commitment. If he was so highly sought after then he would have gotten many more offers during that period. LSU saw the "diamond in the rough" early and capitalized on getting him to commit before other teams figured it out.
