Just because coaches are out their looking doesn't mean offers. There is nothing concrete except on the field skills. Noting they are not 10 powerhouse programs changes the equation. What does a rising 9th or 10th grader have to offer in the way of admissions? Test skills? GPA? Clearinghouse?
I think a lot has to do with geographical areas. Here in FL, there are SO many players with exceptional talent, the top players get the early call but there are a lot of 2019s and 2020s still on the board, so to speak. Some programs are actually seeking out 2018s due to the draft, which would also include watching Non committed JUCO players.
But yes, when summer recruiting gets into full swing, they will be out watching the 2021s, 2022s, but that doesn't equate an offer. Have you been across the country to see what's going on? Are you a coach.
Curious, what does a 2024 have that's so special that Columbia offered a committment?

Maybe there is a potential endowment from that family
