scholarship offers offered article - USM
I guess the philosophy is to get your name out there as much as possible:
http://footballscoop.com/news/one-fbs-te...ing-class/
There are many aspects of recruiting that would make an outsider’s head spin, but none more than the term “committable offer.”
The fact that a scholarship offer requires the clarification that is indeed committable implies that non-committable offers exist, and boy do they.
The SEC was “led” by Tennessee, who whittled 447 offers into a 23-man recruiting class.
But Jeremy Pruitt and staff were not the most offer-friendly team in the nation in 2019.
No, that honor belonged to Southern Miss who, according to data tracked by the site, put out a mind-numbing 503 scholarship offers. The Golden Eagles signed 26 players, meaning one in 20 offers turned into a signature.
And, yes, for a school like Southern Miss, casting such a wide net means many (dozens? hundreds?) of those offers went to guys who were, to borrow a dating term, out of their league — guys who signed with SEC schools. But many more were to guys Southern Miss had no intent of actually signing — the Plan C to the Plan C.
With more than 500 offers extended, it makes one wonder how Southern Miss’ recruiting staffers separated the players that held scholarship offers from the guys they were actually recruiting.
On the flip side of the offer-fest phenomenon was Stanford, who pieced together a 23-man class out of just 78 offers.
The average FBS staff extended around 210 offers for the 2019 class, according to the data.

USM has already offered over 125 kids in the state of Florida alone in the last two months.
Blast offers is something kinda new because schools feel they do not want to be left out on a kid if they were not in on him early enough.
It's up to high school coaches to ask college coaches if the offer is committable.
The main issue here is let's say a school like UK is looking at fringe P5 player and they make an offer, but it's really an "If you gain 10lbs have an amazing senior year, and we do not land the kid in front of you'' type offer, the coach and player blow up the offer for self-promotion and inflates his value.
