I, too, am a big fan of grabbing Coran as quickly as possible, so I can get him before he puts his Thieving points into skills that I don't need. When I'm doing a speed run, I can zip through the early game at lightning speed (I have entered the Bandit Camp while still a Level 1 Fighter before), recruit Coran, kill a Wyvern or two, and be on my merry way. I have also made at least one speed run where we sprinted to Nashkel, recruited Minsc, did the Mines, ran to the Bandit Camp, cleared it, popped over to the Cloakwood, recuited Coran, killed a Wyvern, took its head to Beregost.....and then went to the Gnoll Stronghold.

Moral(s):
Recruiting Minsc and Coran at such early levels can be done.
You really have to know what you're doing if you're going to try it, though.
