My thought -
some players announce every scholarship offer. But, logic dictates that they can only accept one offer.
If a kid commits to school A, that is news. If a kid gets offers from Schools, B, C, D, E, F etc, I'm not sure that it's such a big deal. Schools throw out a lot of offers. some are are serious than others.
So, if a kid gets an offer from School A, and he has no real intention of going there, or he's waiting for an offer from his dream school, why make a big deal out of the offer.
it's like a guy bragging that he asked the hottest girl in school to the Prom. If she accepts, that's news. the Offer, in and of itself, is not news as I see it. At least not on the same level as a commitment. (which is still not final, but that's another conversation.)
