Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 1283338, member: 397"] I think this also leads to a shorter leash/earlier action for head coaching changes. For example, look at Michigan's current recruiting status... they only have a handful of commits because kids didn't want to sign there, assuming that Hoke would be gone after the year was over. If there is an early signing period, Michigan dumps Hoke a lot earlier so they can pump up their numbers a lot earlier in the cycle. With the early signing period, the available pool of quality players to flip in January will become much smaller so it would be alot harder to rescue a class after the season ends for a new coach hired in December or January.
