This sort of thing goes both ways. How many player's have backed out of commitments on NSD ,with little or no warning? It's a shitty deal, but without an early signing period, it will continue to happen. Not condoning it, just saying.

Speaking of early signing period...ESPN reported awhile back that the NCAA was close to having one for next year. I believe the date would be in mid December. I had a thread about it awhile back..

Bumped the thread in case anyone wanted to read the link

I'd like to see a continuous signing period, beginning with the end of a player's junior year in HS and ending with the end of his senior year in HS. If a player signs and the school accepts, then the school is bound to honor the obligation as long as the player meets the terms of the agreement, eg on track to qualify academically, no arrests, no suspensions, etc. The player can decommit only in the case of a coaching change at his position or head coach.

It wouldn't be popular but it would help kids focus on something besides playing the recruiting game their entire HS career. And it would stop schools from hanging a HS kid out to dry who committed in good faith and kept up his end of the contract.
