I can see it helping kids.
But this thing will swing like a pendulum. Right now you have coaches in some programs pushing a hard line to kids that they sign or else their spot is in jeopardy. It may work for the short term but I can guarantee you that there will be an up swelling of kids calling that bluff in the not too distant future.
The coaches that slow play will be better positioned and in that time where teams are patient only the kids who are so sure that is where they want to play will sign early.
But I'd like to see the component where a kid can sign at any point after a certain date.

As with anything else in college athletics, an enterprising coach like Saban will find a way to exploit the loopholes to their advantage. Ultimately, though, the eventuality should be that coaches and programs can’t just shotgun out offers to every kid that may have some talent before their senior seasons. In the long run, it should force coaches to be more focused and diligent on their talent evaluations and subsequent offers
