Wow it's hard to believe that top schools like LSU & USC are being forced to give offers this early in the recruiting process. Seems a little risky taking players after their junior season just ended. In short, it's only a verbal which means the kid could still change his mind before signing day which is a long ways off.

Is this something relatively new? How many did LSU have last year at this time and who were they?

USC has been giving early offers for a while now. I think the other big programs all have to do the same. There are always some players who will wait for signing day. But the number of big name players committing early are going up, so the programs have to offer early.

And if the kid can graduate early, then he has to get offered real early.

This is what you get when you win the National Championship. You get early big time commitments.

Other than the QB Jefferson who signed with Rutgers, (and had already committed to them before us anyway) was the only recruit that changed his mind in the last recruiting class. I think that is pretty good odds that we will keep most all our recruits in the future! I have to admit, the only player I am worried about this next year is Sheppard, not that he would change his mind, but only that he is such a top recruit!!

yeah its a damn tragedy. i think that based on camps alone, LM can tell whether a kid is offer worthy or not. please dont fret about the early offers, and have a little faith in the professionals.
