This seems to be a reoccuring theme with Miles and his staff. There always seems to be a few kids each season who arent clear on whether or not they have an offer.

Should he be taken off the "commit" list?

Probably, but I try to wait for rivals to confirm things to avoid awkward situations. Always try to play it safe.

and is this the end of his recruitment with LSU?

i'd say if he did say "frick LSU" on his facebook, it would be a waste of resources to keep recruiting him

Time to take him off the list. Houston said that he was not going to LSU last week. He said he was really interested in Ole Miss.

Is the head coach the only one that extend a verbal offer or does Les give some of his coaches this kind of authority?

I think Les has to confirm it with the player.

Who would fall into this category?

Off the top of of my head, I can only think of Orelus, Ferrell (but that was probably just based on grades), and possibly Benton, but I would definitely hesitate to go that far.

Okay, mark it down...two or three years from now he will make an interception or a sack against LSU and the entire rebel fan base (and a large portion of ours) will go all ape shite over it.

All of this "conditional" offer stuff comes from speculation. Truth is, no one really knows. Goes back to the Christine Michael deal last year. Did anyone ever figure out what happened? It made for some nice 4-5 page threads for grins, but nothing substantial.
