how can you have early signing periods though when these coaches will leave behind the kids they recruited as long as there is enough $ involved. I wouldn't want to sign early with a school only to find out the new coach is bringing in a spread offense and I'll make the perfect qb for the scout team.

I think Harper is a good athlete but as far as offense is concerned I think D Walker and G Rob are much higher on the list

Did anyone else see his interview on Rivals after his announcement? He didn't sound very convincing with his answers when the reported asked him why he chose K State. He didn't look the guy in the eye, he seemed unsure of himself, almost like he was forced to annouce that day but wasn't 100% into his decision.

I don't think you have to feel sorry for anybody in recruiting, KP. With the rules as they are now, a recruit can say anything publicly about any school at any time without any accountability. Unfortunately, many kids use this to their advantage, 'hoarding" a scholly from their 2nd choice as leverage against their 1st choice.
Like you, I believe the "grown men" in this process are the main part of the problem, but I refuse to feel sorry for someone who did not do their homework or is playing some kind of game.

Sorry, I needed to vent...

And how would this any different than what is for college basketball, which has an early signing period?!?

I think this kid has the perfect mold for an ILB that can cover the field sideline to sideline

you have a good point, but basketball is a far less dynamic game and the head coach is far more involved with each player. 15 or so players compared to 85 means the relationships with the assistant coaches are very important in football.
