I think you might be on to something here. From my first hand experience I'm aware that coaches will make offers and ask for an answer. If the player doesn't commit right away it's not in the best interest of the program to annouce the offer. Not as much as a silent commit as it's a silent offer.

If you're a player fishing for offers you'll probably want to announce any offer you get to place yourself on other team's 'radars'. If the player doesn't get 'better' offers you could list him as a silent commit.

I don't think you are too far off base.
