Part of me wishes there was only 1 signing period and that it was the first of May for all sports. Not sure I'm such a big believer in early signing. By May 1 a lot of the coaching changes have taken place in the major sports (basketball, football, volleyball). I guess that means you are at a disadvantage for the spring sports, but that is the case anyway even with the early signing periods. Would maybe make it harder on the coaches and recruiting because they wouldn't have those usual early signers locked up, but it may benefit the kids and the parents to wait and see what also comes through for financial aid and academic scholarships before they sign.
