Getting it over with

In previous posts here, I've scoffed at the wisdom of kids committing early to colleges, particularly for football, especially since the signing date isn't until next February.

However, if the trend of schools leaning on potential recruits to make their decision as quickly as possible, so as to gather as much talent as possible as soon as possible, the prospect of an early signing date that we floated here last week might not be a bad one.

Of course, more rules could be enacted to further limit the contact of college coaches, but, as one recruiting expert noted, the genie of pressuring kids to declare early is out of the bottle and is not likely to put back in any time soon.
