Years ago I heard a story about a kid who got a call from a coach the day before NLI was supposed to arrive where the coach said "We're not sending your letter. Two Juco transfers became available now who can help us win immediately and I'm giving them your money. Sorry and good luck."
True? Who knows? But would it be legal? Seems like it's the way it works...nothing is official until it is signed.

This exactly above (except it was one recruit and one juco transfer) happened above for a 2019 on son's high school team. The story is from the kid and his parents. I believe the family. But maybe all of the circumstances aren't exactly true. Or maybe they are. The coaches don't put out press releases when they change or pull verbal offers. Just remember who is telling you the story and where they heard it from.
