Would it mean anything if he accepted this early?

I think so -- most kids keep their commitments although obviously not all

New Premium article on Peyton Allen

"Peyton Allen Looking for Super Sophomore Year"

Peyton Allen visited (DePaul)...and enjoyed what he saw.

DePaul will have to fight off stiff competition as Allen has high majors all over
the country coming after him.
???Ohio State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Illinois, DePaul, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Northwestern, Purdue, Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Wake Forest, West
Virginia, Bradley, and Marquette.???

He does not have a specific timetable for when he wants to decide..
???It is probably going to be the coaches and players,??? said Allen. ???I want to
have a chance to get to the NCAA tournament and win it all
It is important to have a good coach that likes to run and gun. I am looking
for a coach that will give his players freedom and a school that has a chance
to win a national championship.???

It was great getting the exposure as Coach Mike Mullins is great at getting his
players exposure. I am glad I can play for him as he is a great coach and a
great guy.
???I am a point guard or shooting guard that likes to create off the dribble and
pass,??? said Allen. ???I can score, get in the lane, make a great pass, and shoot
it.???

???I still think I will be the main scorer and distributer,??? Allen said. ???I want to
play point guard so I can distribute and get more assists. I would like to
average a double-double with points and assists.???
During his freshman year he was the primary ball handler for his team, but on
the AAU circuit he played off the ball."
