I'm an advocate of the early signing period but think it should be in August. What sense does December make? I understand it will save those kids that sign from the madness that is January but most kids that would sign then are early entries anyway. August would make the kids be firm in their decisions and hold the schools accountable to the kids they accept commitments from and quit shuffling them out at the end.

Then what would happen to the Chris Jones' of the world who were completely unknown until the blow up their senior year?

On top of that, what if a kid was a pocket passer QB and the new coaching staff implemented a spread? Now they are stuck with a scholly for a kid that does not fit their system.
I think if they are going to do an early signing period, it should be after the regular season so the kids (and the schools) have an idea of if a staff will be back or not.
