Yes, sometimes kids that were early recruited don't get an NLI, but in general coaches want to keep that to a minimum. They don't want to get a bad reputation in that regard. They are competing with other top schools for the best 9th & 10th graders in the country and don't want to give ammunition to other schools to say "you know they pulled offers from X amount of kids, can you really trust them?" Etc etc

Five years ago I would have agreed with you. Today, no way. No matter what, the schools/coaches hold all the advantage in the recruiting game. Don't kid yourself if you believe otherwise.
