[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 311679, member: 1191"] Saban and a lot of the factory coaches have generally been opposed to the early signing period, which automatically means it benefits schools like GT more than the factories. For instance, it will limit a school like Bama from stringing along recruits and then turning around and either pulling the offer or grey-shirting them. If a kid doesn't have a committable offer in December, then he now knows for sure the school is stringing him along, and can look elsewhere BEFORE other classes fill up. Previously, a school like Bama could pull an offer last minute and a kid would be left with few choices. It means the factories now have to ensure that the kids with offers by the ESP are the ones they want to commit. While some of the 4* and 5* guys that commit early won't be affected, this will hurt a lot of the depth these teams build by poaching high 3* guys at the last minute, or by stringing out players in case the 4* and 5* studs they are chasing don't pan out. This has the potential to help non-factory FBS P5 schools like GT a lot. [/QUOTE]
