[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 37867, member: 923"] In my view, it is a no-brainer to have an early signing date. Also, to me, preferably it would be at the end of the High School team's last game, and prior to the play-offs. It would be detrimental to the schools who cheat by waiting until the February date to make an underhanded material offer to bribe a kid away from a shool for material gain. This would then do away with the domino effect of all the way down to the smaller schools. The coaches would still be able to recruit those who have not signed after that date. The end of the regular season would give the coaches the full year to evaluate those players who were not considered at the beginning of the year and to solidify their evaluations of the offers given prior to the end of the school year. A coach might talk with a player who was highly rated during a preseason camp, but did not prove out during the year. He might have other players he is going to sign that have a better chance of succeeding at the D1 level. If so, he could talk with the previous player and be honest with him about his chances. The player might want to still come to the school, he might want to sign with a smaller school, or sign somewhere else he could get playing time. Personally, I think the early signing period proposal is long overdue. [/QUOTE]
