As we've discussed before, the term offer is tricky and even recruits can get confused. It's possible that the coaching staff has told Keith they want him but haven't given him the full-court press asking him to commit. They may be waiting for him to visit with his family, not really a big deal at this point (assuming he really does want to be a Spartan in the end and it sounds like he does).

When a guy commits too early it can cause problems. This kid committed to Depaul before his 9th grade year. Now he isn't the player they thought he'd be and the school has to awkwardly back out of the arrangement which hurts future recruiting. Similar to Noopy to OSU. I'm sure they thought he'd develop more than he did.
