This is why there needs to be a early signing period by early as September 1, that way you totally eliminate all this diva and entitlement crap that is going on

I appreciate the sentiment but a number of these kids select a university because of a coach...what does one do when the coach is fired or chooses to coach elsewhere?

I don't understand why people think this is the solution. The ones causing this "drama" (which I put in quotes because it's YOU that makes it drama) right now still wouldn't be signed even if there was an early signing period.

Yeah, guys like Voorhies, Battle, Paris and Harris would have signed, but who cares? You don't hear anything with them.

Since you are probably whining about Godchaux like an immature boy, let's put it like this:

Say Godchaux signs in September. He hurts his knee like he does but knows LSU honors his signing. However, LSU still goes out and picks up 4-5 more DT recruits and now the injured signee is scared he won't get as much playing time due to his predicament.

See, this great early signing period that you think of has too many holes and thus why you won't see it happen. But thanks for trying

It's the athletes decision of what is best for themselves, we as fans get to sit back and enjoy the process.

The kids who are strongly committed to a given school early may sign, but not necessarily.

The drama/diva crapola would still continue down to the wire for a vast majority. Therefore, we as recruitniks would not be spared the "show".

September is way to early in my opinion, but I think they should do away with the dead period and quiet period and make signing day the first Tuesday after the New Year Holidays.

Many of these kids start getting recruited at a very early age, so why does it take 2-4 years to determine where the hell they want to go to school?

If there was an early signing period, we'd be screwed by now. Our staff is trying to get top players from other schools to flip to us.
