Has this rule change by the NCAA resulted in guys getting "offers"?

Does texas do any of the flashy boxes that you see other teams do with their offers?  Feels gimmicky but a 16-18 year old would find it amazing.

If I understand the question correctly, the guys it impacts most are uncommitted prospects. You might still think you've got an offer from a school, but if communication has tailed off and you don't get a written offer today, they should assume they're off the board.
