Beaker 2,457 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 E or 23 - In your opinion, will the early signing day help Auburn? I can think of one or two reasons why it could, but you know much more than I do on such. thanks - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,614 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I think the early signing period helps everybody, with the biggest advantage going to the smarter coaching staffs, of which Auburn is one. Example: Kid is committed, you want him to sign early but he doesn't. What's up with this??? There's time to look for a replacement. Example: You sign most of your class early, it gives you a chance to re-evaluate where you came up short and you can look to fill some needs. Example; One of your committed guys has some grade/legal/ other problems. You can refuse to sign him in December: "You've got until February to clean this mess up or we won't be able to take you." I suppose the list goes on and on in areas I don't know much about. The early signing period adds complexity to recruiting. Like in every one of life's situations, added complexity is an advantage to the intelligent and prepared. The higher-paid, more experienced coaching staffs will be the ones that benefit.

You see which kids are really to end their recruitment & which kids a school is really ready to take. Also, when the recruits are signed then they don't have to be recruited in January & February. More time to then spend on other recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker 2,457 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Thanks E; I have a funny feeling we close very well if we play well today. I mean we get a couple of surprises. Kids seem more fickle today and I am a teacher so that is what I am basing this on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
