Just a minor point, but Alontae Taylor isn't signing today, he's expected to sign on Friday. So still an early signee, but don't freak out that he doesn't do it today.

Hopefully we end up with a top 20 25 class. That's my expectations...

Up to 36 on 247 after Banks and Carvin announcements. Im betting that after NSD in February, JP will have us significantly higher than 20-25.....and theyÂ’ll be legit SEC players, unlike the majority of what Sgt Carter brought in

the only ones that really would affect are the ones that are definitely planning on being EE's. anyone else that's wondering about the future of the place they're currently committed, and is going to enroll in summer....should wait.

the early signing period provides an opportunity for some lower tier schools to lock up guys that have committable offers vs. waiting to see if they wind up in the plans for the big fish school. sign now at MD or wait and see if FSU has a spot? that's the choice a lot of kids will get to make.

the blue chips that have their choice, can end the madness and get it done.

schools have to be judicious in who they offer.

the monkey wrench this year is all the coaching changes. probably made some kids that were locks, pause for a second and take another look at the landscape before they sign this week.

a la Shrout, Griffith, JJ or Martinez, Horn, Gerald.

it goes both ways. and we're not the only ones going thru it.

I'm generally not a fan of early signing period, but may change in future once we're stable. I think it's going to press too many coaching shifts and potentially assistant shifts "in season", potentially disrupting a teams season.

However, if Saban is against it, I'm for it. I guess Bama, Clemson, etc could previously ignore someone and circle back late as openings are created, and this locks them out to have to go further down their lists.

not really the carvin banks ceremony was on fb live.

i haven't found anything on Woodyard or Shrout, and i'm not sure when shrout is doing his. don't see any links on espn, rivals or 247.

twitter seems to be the quickest way to get the info right now.

well it certainly hasn't hurt Clemson or Georgia.

i think this could be a good thing to lock up the top of your board, and will make you make very deliberate decisions on guys further down your board.

the # of coaching changes this season really threw a wrench in to a lot of players' and programs' plans.

the reason some coaches don't like it is because it removes some flexibility on some of your back up plans, and it falls right smack dab in the middle of bowl/play off prep.

I don't think there should be a signing day period. If a kid has made up his mind and the school is willing to accept, he should be able to send in his NLI whenever he wants to.
