re: Should recruits be able to sign a LOI @ any time?

No, there are some kids who commit to each school they visit

First, they wouldn't be able to do that anymore if their 'committment' entailed actually signing their name to what amounts to a contract. If their answer is 'I can't sign yet' then you KNOW they're not committed.

Secondly, it would end this 'soft verbal' nonsense. By the way, what the hell is a 'soft verbal' and how is it different than a 'hard verbal'? How it's delivered?

Third, it would relieve the kid who knows where he wants to go and his family from being pestered to death by coaches who have no chance to sway them to their school.

Fourth, it would make the whole exercise a little more honest. Kids who knew where they were going could sign say in December and let the ones who truly weren't sure be the ones who were focused on from that point until the final signing day.
