Completely unrealistic. Assistant coaches are professional salesmen who intentionally make their relationship with the prospect the deciding factor. It increases their value to the schools come contract time or for new opportunities. They also have a huge impact on the day to day lives of college football players, usually even more than head coaches.

So that's out. What about the new offer part? Every year there are dozens of prospects who find better opportunities in January and February. Are they just SOL?

Look, nobody's FORCING kids to sign in December if this pans out. It's just an opportunity for those that are solid with their decisions to get the drama out of the way early. If a kid is unsure in anyway, shape or form, they can, and should wait until February.

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.
