From the college perspective: there are committable offers and non-committable offers. Noncommittable would be if the student needs more work for his grades. Or if there is a higher target on the school's board. A kid can verbally commit. But there is no guarantee that he gets a LOI to turn back in.
From the kid's perspective. He can say publicly whatever he wants (commit, undecided, top 3, top 100). The schools can't comment publicly on a recruit.
Watch Jerry McGuire and understand that talk is just talk. And that the LOI is all that matters.
The schools try to pressure kids with the LOI to turn it in asap. Limited space available. Other offers out. Etc... the reality is that a kid loses all of his rights in the process once the LOI is in.
