Reply to ""Signee", "Commit" for walk-on?"

Here's the D1/D2 rule:
13.10.2 Comments Before Signing. Before the signing of a prospective student-athlete to a National Letter of Intent or an institution’s written offer of admission and/or financial aid, a member institution may comment publicly only to the extent of confirming its recruitment of the prospective student-athlete.

In principle, a player need only have received and somehow signed an offer of admission. Then the college could comment on his signing. For example a player could apply for early admission under a program that requires that he attend the school if admitted. So there would be an actual signature, and the school could announce him as a recruit, in spite of no financial offer.

I suppose that it is rare that a college would announce (in November) such a player as a signed recruit, but it could be done.

A financial offer doesn't have to be part of the NLI program, but it almost always is.
