I agree with Urbs 100%. Lazy ass, crappy recruiters want early signing periods.
Trying to lock a kid in before he's had a chance to vet every possible scenario is weak.
Waaaahhh. He stole our recruit.
Stop crying.
FROM URBAN:
"I hear the reasoning is because there's so many decommitments. What the hell does that mean? So because 17-year-olds are decommitting, let's give them a legal document so they can't decommit. That's not very smart. Young people have a right to choose where they want to go to school. Period. Let them decommit 100 times. They're 17 years old. That's why they're called 17-year-olds. I don't understand whether it's lazy (on the part of college coaches in favor of an early signing period). I don't understand why there's this big push.
"Now they want to have official visits in their junior year. There are some kids that don't even have ACT scores. Their bodies are gaining 12 pounds. Why not move it up to their sophomore year? It's bizarre. You're going to see more transfers and more mistakes made in recruiting than ever if they keep pushing this thing up."
