It wouldn't be mandatory.


It's not mandatory for basketball either, but the majority of kids sign the first chance they get because (a) they want to lock up their spot and (b) it's before their season really starts up in high school, so they can get the whole thing over with and focus on their senior season. The problem is the fall signing period is almost 6 months before the spring signing period. You always have coaching turnover and a bunch of kids stuck with a school they don't want to play for and trying to get out of their LOI, which isn't guaranteed. I kinda wish they would do like football, and make basketball signees sign after the season is over.

You understand the risk when you sign early, it's a game in itself. There are pros and cons to both sides of the argument. If the rules switch, they switch and everything adapts to it.
