It's when the Coach/Program doesn't give you a commitable scholarship offer. So in their mind they were waiting on someone else and won't accept a Recruits commit yet.
In Gabriel's case he visited the weekend of the Navy game and did not have an official offer that Heup would accept as a commitment. Then days after he leaves UCF he gets an offer from Georgia. UCF finally comes around with an offer after he now has offers from the SEC East Champ and USC(West). From the recruits perspective if comes off as if he is not really wanted and when UCF is recruiting from the AAC I think it's a misstep especially with him knowing Milton. Even with an almost 2 year winning streak UCF has to recruit like an underdog and go over the top with In Home visits, etc. The University of Southern California, Georgia, & Texas type Programs can get away with giving the cold shoulder and still landing the recruit.
