Early Signing Period begins tomorrow.

For the first time NCAA Football will have an early signing period that will be along with the JUCO signing dates. Are you interested or do you think this is a good or bad move? Should a kid be locked into a school if say the HC of a school takes a NFL job?

I'm more interested to see how many assistant coaches are fired/move the day after early signing day. Some estimates are that up to 1/3 of coaches are going to be gone come Friday.

It's a good move. A committed recruit who doesn't sign early isn't really committed....he's still looking. This early signing period will inform coaches who's serious about their school/team and who isn't.

This is a bit of an anomaly due to adding the 10th assistant coach this year.

I like it as it will let kids enjoy their year, but I am not sure if some colleges will drop kids because some guy did not sign early at a rival and leave kids with nowhere to go. It is a strange, guess the newness. But should a kid be obligated to go somewhere if a HC leaves for NFL job, with same penalty since the regular date has not passed? But your actions have consequences.
I want to see how that gets handled or addressed.

If the lower level guys sign, then they're guaranteed to have a four year scholarship. I actually think it could give more clarity to lower level guys.

It's also especially difficult for new coaches who just got hired to actually recruit, build relationships, and get a class put together at the last second. At least February gives everyone plenty of time.
How is this supposed to improve the process?

Incorrect scholarships are only a year long.

I've seen some concern that the bigger schools will press some of the lower talent to hold off on committing early to a school that wants you, so that the big school will have that kid as a backup plan at the national signing day if they lose out on higher profile recruits

True, but those guys can sign with a lower tier team so the top level schools might have to take a bird in the hard rather than potentially two in the bush.

Big name coaches already trying to frick kids over.
Already telling some to wait, there could be an opening soon. And selling them on a scholarship that doesn't exist right now and might never exist.

Nearly all of your big coaching changes have taken place by mid-December. If you have a guy who's committed but doesn't wanna sign in December so he can take visits in January...he's not committed. He's open.

What's the reasoning behind an early signing period and the date it falls on?

I like the early signing period for the mid-level (2 and 3 star) recruits/commits. If the program won't supply early signing period paperwork and asks them to "wait", then they'll have some clarity and be able to go somewhere else.
It might also reduce some of the last minute flipping/gamesmanship on the part of the higher level (4 and 5 star) recruits, if they see classes filling up in December.

I honestly don't understand why an elite five star player would sign early unless they plan to enroll early.

South has been using it to see who is really interested.
We've seen the phenomenon you're talking about but we just move to the next kid if they're flakey.
I like it because it gives a chance to find an alternative instead of a p5 swooping in and offering in February.

Nailed it
