How does it work when LSU makes an offer to a kid, but then fills up at that position? Do they rescend the offer? What happens if 25 kids commit and a 5 star decides on like signing day he wants to come to lsu? How do adjust? Could somebody like Moffitt's kid decide to "walk on" to free up a scholarship?

If it's a highly rated player on their board.. They'll find a way to make it work. It's a business

The coaches can pull an offer but will look like assholes. They did it to that DT from Denham Springs a couple years ago so they could take Tashawn Bower

you are opening up a can of worms man.

the skinny: if LSU adjusts and finds room for the new 5 star guy, it's OK. if Saban does it, it's evil. processing, ruining kids lives, etc

i'm sure that there are some "hardball" being played. it's the nature of the beast at the top level schools.

This is why they are so reluctant to offer instate early. If this situation occurs and they have to pull an offer because the position fills up, they don't want to piss off instate coaches.

Pretty sure you find someone who will take a greyshirt to open up a spot. Basically they can sign but they pay their own way the first year...I think.
Isn't that what happened with Elliot Porter?

This is essentially what happened with Cliff Chattman last year. They offer him as a high upside guy then find out he sucks. It is just best to let they player know as soon as possible and not on NSD.

It happens and it sucks, but also recruits lie to coaches which is really shitty because someother recruit might get left out until late because the coaching staff thought the position would be full. But a few years back the NCAA started a program where the recruit signs finical papers that make it so the school can't pull his offer, and in return they can talk to the recruit during dead periods and other benefits.

When I was recruited to play baseball, many years ago, I was told by a few places where I was on their board and the position of need. One Place I went, I was told I was the top priority and another place I was their 4th choice. I guess it probably works the same way with college football.
