Definition of a "commitable" offer

How can a school offer a kid a schalorship and then refuse to accept it. It sounds more like a "non-commitable,or "conditionable" offer.
I guess I'm looking for what is the difference between "we want you" and "we want you ...maybe"

It does sound like somewhat of a redundant phrase, one that's overused by the Bama folks.
I would think an example of a conditional offer would be one where the school would offer the kid on condition that he shuts down the process (i.e. no visits to other schools).
EDIT: Did some quick research on the subject. A non-commitable offer doesn't seem to be an actual offer at all, but just semantics for a school showing interest.

A commitable offer is one that a coach will accept the commitment of a recruit when the recruit calls the coach to inform him that he would like to commit. For example, LF's commitment would be accepted even if the written offer was conditional. Other recruits have to wait until those higher on the board decide.
I would bet that all initial offers as written are conditional subject to the head coach's acceptance. It's just the nature of limited scholarships. You have to offer way more than you can accept and you have to offer way early before you know who will commit. You can't have all these offers floating around without some kind of control mechanism.

Having experience the process myself all offers are initially given verbally. All offers are conditional but not commitable. Even commitable offers are conditioned upon satisfying certain requirements set forth by the University(admissions), NCAA(Clearinghouse) and any other governing organization such as a Conference(SEC).This is a formal offer to a full NCAA scholarship. The term commitable describes the process of the recruit to commit to the University which holds that scholarship for the recruit. Each school can only give out 25 scholarships so the recruit must "commit" to hold that scholarship. The recruit signs a LOI on National Signing Day which executes the contract or offer thus binding the school and recruit to the offer. Also the NCAA determines when these letters can be officially given. This year it was August 1st.
