Even then thats only two schools. Of course the SEC would be the only conference against it. They'd have to change who and how they offer out the gate. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 A couple ESPN articles to get you up to speed. Supposed to be voted on this week. Early Signing Period Primer Do Coaches Want Early Signing? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Sorry...but a December signing period is complete total BS for Nebraska and other programs like Nebraska. LINK If these schools want an early signing period, make the school step up to the plate and sign the kid before their senior season and be committed to him. A December signing period does absolutely nothing other than preventing many kids from taking official visits to schools like Nebraska when they are actually able to do it. Hopefully common sense prevails here. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Isn't it only BS if they don't allow OV's during the Jr year of HS? Which is the case now. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Seems like I've heard this somewhere before... Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Isn't it only BS if they don't allow OV's during the Jr year of HS? Which is the case now. Agree. However, without earlier official visits, this change would be a disaster for us. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 There shouldn't be much change right away, no need to yardsail current system and create some new chaos. Allow OVs to start once completion of Junior semester occurs, allow university to cover expenses for parents/guardians. That change should happen regardless. I could almost see one August signing day for those who are sure about their commitment, no more OVs allowed in season except if it's back to the committed school. Then keep current format for rest of recruits, a final signing period that starts in February. This would give the coaches enough of an idea of who is locked into the future and pin down who is wavering so they can manage their big board for final signing period push. If a head coach, only head coach, gets fired or leaves school at anytime prior to final signing period, then the kid may open up recruitment if they signed in August. My opinion could change if new light is shed if/any change occurs. I almost agree with Bo's stance, once an offer is made, the kid has the choice to sign or not, but even that scenario seems pretty radical and unforeseen circumstances could emerge.

Schools in recruiting hotbeds will fight this till death. I don't like Bo's stance at all. Coaches would put EXTREME pressure on a kid to sign immediately. It would become unfair to the kid and family. Quote Link to comment
Dr. Strangelove Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 An earlier signing period, without earlier OVs, hurts Nebraska. We've put together a lot of our classes in the months of January and early Feb. when kids can take more visits. Hopefully this is in the discussion, I haven't kept up on the issue much.
