Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1912068, member: 27"] Yes. I am saying while this would reduce our ability to fill in open spaces late in a recruiting class with MAC level verbals, a lot of those open spaces result from us losing players who verballed to SU originally before switching to bigger name schools afterwards. Since the level of the players we lose is significantly higher than the level of the players we gain because there is no early signing date, I would rather have the early signing date. It would also help the players and their families. It is a tough process to handle deciding what to do from the perspective of the players. Recruiting wears on them and their families and it has to be a good thing to give them the option of ending the process early, locking into a school they love and letting them focus their senior year on athletics and academics. Not on the recruiting process. [/QUOTE]
