To be more clear, there is absolutely zero monetary benefit to scouting early with rollover cash. The only factor being brought up is that the coach could have had carryover in addition to the ridiculous amount of bonus cash the UAA brings in every season.
In fact, scouting early with rollover cash can hurt you in some situations. If you have a couple thousand bucks lying around, you might just scout New York because it looks fertile and you can afford it, but you'll likely pay full price. On the other hand, if you wait until the season rolls over, you might buy it at a discounted price as part of a larger package of states.
Either way, you've scouted New York. In the first scenario, you've had the recruits' info for a longer time. In the second, you've paid less for it. I'd rather pay less.
