The early signing period will be good to force the hand on some of these kids. For example, USC didn’t offer Tufele until two weeks ago. If there was an early signing period, Urban may force Tufele to sign in December if he wants a scholarship, USC hasn’t offered Tufele yet, and Tufele signs with Utah.

Tufele signs with USC in December, which takes a scholarship away from someone else or a 4 star kid gets angry that USC signed so many DT’s over him…it essentially gives you a time to go after what is left.
Also, if Tuttle signs early, then he can go after kids and try to get some late committs from their friends.
I like the early signing period. I think it takes some power away from the large schools and gives smaller schools a better shot at high level talent they’ve scouted out and can prevent USC from poaching classes two weeks before signing day.
