If that was the case, Burnett would of been contacted and offered 3 weeks ago during Jimmy's plane fight into Detroit for his introductory press conference.
I agree that star ratings are partly subjective and not the be all, end all. And the NFL draft is a perfect example of many guys who never got the love they may of deserved from all the recruiting experts. However, it is one of the better tools we have, just like grades in school in terms of measuring future success. Ultimately, Burnett and his family needs to be absolutely comfortable with his decision. I hope he is one of those guys that beats the odds and you'll hear about in one the future NFL drafts.
This seems like a clear case of cold feet. It was a good visit, got caught up in the moment, made an emotional decision, thought about it on the 4 hr flight back to LA, came to his senses, found out word got out, and was scrambling to get out the situation anyway he can. I don't think this has anything to do with coaches, non-commitable offer, etc.
Every guy has been in this type of situation in their life when they meet a new girl who was way more interested in you. Initially thought she was better looking for whatever reason, maybe the dark lighting or the boos. Next day, your trying to get out of the situation without looking like a prick. Sorry to say, maybe UM was that girl to our valuable 3* recruit.
I'm new here and you guys may come down on me for this. I know we are scrambling and to a certain degree, have to fill the class. However, people are getting way too worked up on not getting this parade of last minute 3* guys who would probably never get the time of day from this coaching staff if they were 2016 recruits. Missing out on Marshall, Weber, Clark would hurt. But, I don't know about some of these others.

Doesn't bode well for Bennet Warren since he is from Texas and is even higher rated than Anderson.
