We've got an interesting phenomenon going on, here.
Because USC is limited to 15 scholarships (18 total after including 3 early enrollee slots that are available) and a maximum roster of 75 players, USC has no choice but to search out and recruit guys who could play from day 1. Whether as a starter or back-up, every guy will be counted on to make a contribution on the field.
Now surely, there are a lot of players across the country that could fit the bill, but with the 18 recruit upper-limit, it's a first-come basis. If you drag your feet and put off verbally committing, that slot might disappear as soon as USC fills its need at each position.
So while USC has more than double the scholarship offers out there than they have space for -- and surely many of them are contingent offers -- it wouldn't be a surprise if USC had its recruiting needs locked up long before LOI signing day, especially if they have an exceptional season this Fall.
