LSU Lands Commitment From Georgia DT Walter Mathis Jr.

Yup, always look at the offer sheet.

But in recruiting, don't schools use a shotgun with bird shot rather than a rifle? Meaning, they cast a wide net hoping to land a small fraction of that.

So if I get an offer from LSU, I might be offer #143 in the cycle and them only being able to take 25, if someone better commits, don't they kick me to the curb? Ain't that how it works? I'm asking.

So who offered doesn't seem to hold all that much sway with me. Is my thinking wrong?

Yes your thinking is bad. Big schools do not offer every 3 star. Hell, they don't offer every 4 star.
