Look, nobody's FORCING kids to sign in December if this pans out.

College coaches will. It's completely naive to think otherwise.

You said, it's a bad thing for 3*s? Well, what about the 3* that gets their offer bumped/trumped by a 5* who comes in at the last min? A coach down in Tuscaloosa is famous for doing that. It's a great way for those type of kids to be assured they aren't going to have to hunt for a spot on NSD when all of the sudden their offer in no longer committable because of unexpected kids coming on board.

This is terrible when it happens, but it happens a lot less frequently than kids trading up. Coaches would just do it in December as opposed to January anyway.

Most college coaches are assholes with a lot of leverage. The early signing day just gives them another pressure point.
