Here's why I think we have the coaches telling these guys,"If you aren't solid then we are going to look in a different direction."
We have a limited number of scholarships this year, that is known. Maybe there are more players interested in coming to Nebraska than we have spots open, so the coaches made an executive decision to tell these recruits, "either you're in or you're out" so they aren't holding a committment but aren't solid. Therefore these committments aren't being wasted without the player wavering. Maybe after this last weekend a few more D recruits have become more interested and they need to make room.
