Bo Pellini suggestion about signing day

[Terry Webster]

Ran into this small nugget from Bo. Really interesting idea about how to handle signing day and the problem of kids being offered 3-4 years before they graduate. As soon as kid is offered a scholarship, he/she can sign. Can you imagine how that would change the landscape of how coaches offer kids?

Initially, I like the ideal. ESPN would probably not like it.

I think it would be a mess with kids committing early and then trying to back out of LOIs later on down the road

Then they should learn not to commit too early. Sounds like a good idea to me.

We're talking about 15-16 year old kids here. Think about all the stupid [deleted] you did at that age- would you want to be held to it for four yearS?

I suspect it would be binding on both sides if something like this ever happened, which it never will. Maybe coaches would quit offering 7th graders.

It would require parental consent. More importantly it would slow down the very early commitments due to the schools being a little more conservative with their offers.

I hope that you would also end the practice of schools offering 50-60 kids each year with the hopes of signing 25.
