Huh? You're saying a college can only offer as many scholarships as they have open roster spots? No, of course not. They could have easily left the roster spot open, the offer open, and then recruited someone else. Then the press release "we couldn't wait any longer for Rose to sign, we had to fill out our roster." That seems unreasonably unlikely to you??
If so I offer up as counter evidence every school in the whole of the NCAA.
