Sankey wants to get rid of the early signing period.
- Thread starter DesotoCountyDawg
- Start date
That would be better for the Bammers and UGAs
Agreed and I can guarantee they’re the ones doing all the bitching.
Simply to have a break from a time perspective? Kind of hard for them to use the delay to get higher ranked classes
I would say they like it with one signing period so they can swoop in at the last minute and get whatever player they need if something falls through with their current commits.
^^^This^^^ the early signing period helps the MSU’s of the world get their Croots signed and a lot less drama.
Better for Bama or UGA....maybe. They get who they want anyway regardless of one or two signing days.
For the overall health of the sport.......the December signing period needs to be eliminated. We are firing coaches in October now...to "Get a head start" on hiring the next ex-head coach. Teams go through post season with no staff. Coaching hot seat talk and next year hires dominate college football headlines. For some schools, many, the season they are in, is 2nd page news to the "Coaching fire/hire and next year." It is a mess.

So it’s going to happen then?
The transfer portal changes the early signing day for me. I could see it being difficult for coaches right now with transfer portal, bowl prep and signing day.
Early signing day in December with the transfer portal stuff going on is ridiculous. Need to back it up to May rather than just get rid of it though.
Agree. Since kids can visit in the summer though, the signing period should be the Wednesday before fall camp starts. Let the coaches get through the season, and keep the February period
Can’t go back to having a dead period in December where recruits can’t legally be contacted. We have lost a lot of players in the dead period to you know who.
tOo HuRd on COrChES.
17 that. There may be legitimate reasons to end the early signing period, but making December easier on a bunch of millionaires shouldn’t be it.

Exactly. That really is hard on coaches. It tells you a lot about what the big money schools want though when the signing day is the one they choose to eliminate. By all means, lets keep the one that has totally destroyed college sports as we know it.
If we do move it from December, this is the only way to do it, though I think we should do it in August before camp.
But either way, 17 Sankey and 17 the coaches whining. Earn your money.
I would say moving it back will help new coaches. We might could have taken our time on replacing leach had signing day not been in December
^^^^Thats when Ole Miss does their best work.
Concur. Have an early signing period on the first of August. If a player gets hurts, or had a bad senior season, you'd still be committed to that one year scholly. If a player didn't get an offer he wanted, he could "bet on himself" not sign and play his senior year to improve his stock.
Well, then have the early signing period during the summer before the season. Like this December signing period, it should have been July 20th instead. Then the second signing period should be February.
Or maybe players should be able to sign any day once they start school as a senior. Have no signing day. Players should be able to sign at any point.
Poor Bama and Georgia can’t poach players at the last second. Our coach passed and we pretty much signed all our commits. All this means it’ll change & the richer will definitely win and we will lose.
I love it in December. It’s much less drama.
Can’t speak for the coaches.
Can’t speak for the coaches.
Let them sign anytime. Get rid of verbal commitments. Don’t offer a kid unless you’re ready to sign.
Agreed. Let them sign in 7th grade if thats what the school wants them to do. If we’re going to keep this ridiculousness with the portal going, the worst that can happen is these kids are unhappy for a semester and then they can go somewhere else….just like thousands of regular college freshmen every year.
But Leach is a different situation. Making a decision to fire a coach is fundamentally different than one passing away. Doesn’t matter what time of year signing period is, when a coach passes away. It could happen at any time.
