It looks like 24/7 has updated the commits to show who the early signees will be. They don't appear to have updated the early enrollees. They don't show anything for John Emery and I think Dandy Don's said that he would be attending classes at LSU in January.

According to the list in the link, only one commit will not sign early - Maurice Hampton.


The "sunrise" symbol indicates an early signee.

The "clock" symbol indicates an early enrollee.

An early signee will sign with the college but not enroll at the school until the summer or fall of the next year just like as if they had signed during the February signing period. Once they sign the school is on the hook for that scholarship even if the player never enrolls in school. If the player changes his mind and goes elsewhere he would have to go by the transfer rules of sitting out a year or attending a smaller classification of school.

An early enrollee will sign early and start attending classes in January. They will be available to get a head start on fellow signees by fully participating in offseason workouts and spring practice.

24/7 List of LSU commits


This is not an LSU recruit or commit, just the example provided by 24/7 to show the "new" early signee symbol.

You sure you want that one?

I have seen one where he has been jogging and then took a picture without his shirt. You may like that one better since he is bare chested and sweating. Whatever floats your boat though. Think about it and let me know.

The stretching pic is just such a classic Ree pic. I think it's the GOAT Ree propaganda. A close second is smiling Mike.

Hampton is a concern to me. As much I love seeing 2 sport guys, it sounds like barring something crazy, he’s gone. Borderline 1st/2nd round pick.

Really? What changed? He said he wanted his brother to attend but he was unable to get to Louisiana for the early signing period.

Starks just said he's practicing his signature for Dec. 19th. He's signing early.

I read somewhere that a family member or close friend would be unavailable to attend during the early period and he was going to wait. It could have been incorrect info or may have changed.

Starks tweeted this himself. His brother lives in Arizona and was not going to be able to attend and it was really important to him that he be at his ceremony. I guess the brother was able to make it after all, or other arrangements were made.

THIS is where bagmen and boosters are very valuable. Get them some vacation days and buy a plane ticket. That's how you close.

LSU may not allow him to sign until it is known for sure whether he will attend college or not. He may have to miss summer workouts. But there is the potential to lose a scholarship for the year by signing him.

100% agree... I hate to miss out on a 2-sport athlete as well. But we are risking losing a 2019 scholly spot that could not be backfilled if we allow him to sign and then he bails for MLB.

It’s just terrible timing and a tough situation re: Hampton. I just hope both sides can be brutally honest with each other and we have the right connections to find which way the wind is blowing with MLB recruiters.

If an LSU commit doesn't sign at the early signing period, they are not an LSU commit
