re: Rumblings of moving National Signing Day up a month and a half

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.

But it also could really screw a kid if he signs an LOI in August and then the team has a horrible season and the coach gets canned. Now the kid is stuck playing for a coaching staff he had no intention of playing for.

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.
