An early mess for SC?

An attentive blog reader brought this to my attention, but we are currently in a recruiting dead period from Jan. 11-14.

Coaches are only allowed to have contact with recruits who have been admitted for mid-year enrollment.

New USC coach Ed Orgeron reportedly told Tennessee mid-year enrollees, who were supposed to start school today, to not go to class and that there would be scholarships waiting for them at USC. It has been reported here: Orgeron story

If Orgeron is acting for USC, as it certainly appears he is, where does that leave them?
