[QUOTE="Despite the odds Frog, post: 2549088, member: 3212"] Early signing period is for the athlete. It protects the athlete and the smaller schools. Protects the athlete so these big schools can't yank their scholarship in the last second for a 4 or 5 star kid. It allows them to sign and have their scholarship or if they choose to wait for other opportunities they can. Gives the athlete more options and protects them from being left in the cold. It protects the smaller schools from these large named schools from poaching their commitments after they do not get the 4/5 star athletes they have been waiting and hoping to get. They have slots to fill and this prevents these schools taking from the less popular program (like a Texas Tech. SMU, Baylor, etc.). Poaching leads to the "mid-major" or smaller schools having to fill holes with recruiting availability over. Alabama and teams of like HATE the early signing period. Just listen to their radio shows. They spend hours on fire about early signing period. They want it gone. No more grey shirting instead making these big name programs have to commit to the athlete (making them make better evaluations and committing to the athlete instead of strolling them along). Troll doesn't understand early signing period and the benefits/protection it gives the athlete and why NCAA decided for it. [/QUOTE]
