Sometimes the reverse is true as well, PG. I know Bum, Jr. (and dad) was thrilled to get a Pac-10 early offer. After years of wondering if he were "good enough" it was a huge thing at the time and he accepted. During his senior season, he had to turn down a ton of other teams --good ones-- and only then did it become apparent he committed too early. My advice to any player on the fence, wondering if that D1 school is an attainable goal, well, if you're good enough and they know your name (exposure) you'll be okay. There's such a thing as jumping too soon.
