Is trying to hide his commitment date, with his dad saying feburary and multiple outlets saying soon. I imagine teams are giving their final pitches to AJ and he commits soon.
Early signing period runs through the 20th. There is financial incentive to sign before the 20th as he can start receiving NIL money from the NIL collective immediately after he signs.
