Really not that completed. The catch and fumble are two separate things. The rule should be whether there was a catch. If there was then it is a catch. If there is no clear recovery then like any other situation, the ball stays with the offense. Pretty simple really.
That's what I say. If nobody recovers, it doesn't change hands, and stays with the offense. Same as if nobody gets it before it goes out of bounds.
I agree with this logic - why does the catch go away due to nobody recovering a fumble after the catch?
