EARLY SIGNING PERIOD MAY HELP G5 FROM LOSING RECRUITS TO P5

GROWING MOVEMENT FOR EARLY SIGNING PERIOD IN FOOTBALL(LINK)


With the SEC announcing today that they might favor an early signing period in College Football, we may be moving towards such a day sooner rather than later. The SEC discussed an early signing period today at their annual spring meeting in Florida. This follows on the heels of the ACC recommending an early signing period a month ago. The SEC favors an early signing period to be held around Thanksgiving while the ACC favors one in August. The SEC however, seems to be less enthusiastic about the move than the ACC.  The final hurdle for an early signing period would have to be voted on  by the  Conference Commissioner  Association.

If an early signing period in College Football does become a reality the G5 schools may benefit from the decision to have one.  P5 schools often swoop in with late offers to G5 recruits, nullify months if not years of hard work by G5 coaching staffs. An early signing period may help stop some of this late recruit poaching. Stay tuned.
