"It'd be nice if the signing date was earlier and the portal [window] was right after that, instead of the chaos of doing both these things at the same time" Berry said. "... It's so chaotic right now, where everyone's pulling their hair out, including the student-athletes."

Berry suggested the Monday after Thanksgiving or the first Wednesday in December as potential options and noted some coaches would like to move the signing day even earlier -- possibly to the summer -- but said that could create an issue with players changing their minds after the season.


Some of these guys really want to give these prospects as little time as possible to make a decision. How about March junior year as the deadline I guess at this point it doesn't matter since you can portal at any time and seemingly as many times as you want with no sit out. It would be hilarious if you have signed players who haven't even gotten to campus "portalling" multiple times. With that being said 24 of our 28 commits will be on campus now or in the next week or so, so tons of guys are basically skipping their senior year of high school so whatever.

Correct. The transfer portal eliminates that concern. Besides high profile players will likely wait until signing day with the early signing period moved up to summer. This will at least get the kids out of the way that are committed to that school and not that coach.
