Basically kids can sign after August 1st if they:

A. Are an early enrollee with enough credits to graduate in December

B. Confirm there's a financial aid agreement in place with the school

I actually don't know about the rule changes, comment taken from Brandon's tweet. I do "think" he is graduating early and if so, that may play a part.

he's not signing an LOI but a financial aid agreement with the school. You can do that after Aug 1. Not sure how binding it is though. I think in the SEC anyway, a financial aid agreement carries the same weight as the LOI.

The financial agreement is binding on the school but NOT the recruit.

Background

Basically, they only bind the school to the scholarship offer. This doesn't bind the recruit, but it does make it slightly more official than a verbal commitment.

Apparently though if a kid signs this their recruitment is treated as if they signed a LOI. So they're allowed unlimited communication and the coaches can publicized their commitment. If that's true, then that's a pretty big deal.

My take on Brandon is that he is equally as smart as he is athletically talented. Don't be surprised to see him competing very well for playing time from the get-go. He's the type of kid CC can really do something special with.
