I just saw this online (sorry if already posted):

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/03/coaches_weary_of_early_enrolle.html

The main piece of the article is below:

"LSU getting hit with significant penalties for its contact with Matt Womack could change the way coaches deal with potential early enrollees.

Womack, a 6-foot-7 offensive lineman from Mississippi, signed a financial aid agreement with LSU and indicated he planned to enroll early at the school. Once he did that, it allowed LSU coaches to have unlimited contact with him.

However, Womack ultimately changed his mind, didn't enroll early and signed with Alabama on National Signing Day. Due to its unlimited contact, LSU was banned from signing recruits to financial aid agreements for two years and lost 21 evaluations days this year."

The penalties against LSU seem to be ridiculous, IMO. With all the decommitments (which seem to be on the rise) that  happen every year, I wonder how this is going to affect future recruiting of early enrollees...

Any thoughts, y'all?
