Saban hates it because he can’t swoop in and steal recruits from nearby G5 schools to fill last minute openings 3 days before signing day anymore

Wasn't the signing limit also set to 25 per class?

It always has been 25. Not really how the new rules really change that unless it trying to end Gray Shirting. Really didn't see it mentioned in the SI article below. I think it will eventually become like Basketball. Top recruits will sign early and those that may on the cusp may hold out to see where they stand. To me it seems a recruit hoping for a bigger offer may wait to the Feb signing period. For G5 to pull offers for a kid not signing early will eventually backfire. If a kid truly wants to sign with a school, they will.

It's been fun recruiting season even for a FCS program. Has to be a relief for lots of the players to get it done and over with before Christmas. They can enjoy their second semester of high school more now.

The early signing period will be good for all non-ESPN gold star programs. No longer can Alabama slow play a kid and wait to the last minute to give that scholarship to someone else.

RE: Football Early Signing must be good - Saban hates it.
This has really just moved things up months. Not sure if I like or not. Doesn't seem to have hurt Ohio State (actually think it helps this year as a lot of out of state recruits being pushed hard for). I kind of like idea of giving seniors as much time as possible though and on the college side, not rushing everything into bowl season (some college news in February is nice). Also puts even more pressure on coaches changing jobs to come right away. Frost staying at Central Florida for bowl for instance will hurt Nebraska a lot more than with initial signing day in December and would not be surprised if more pressure going forward to move right away (most do anyway unfortunately).

On the flip side, most kids have already decided by now, so not terrible to have a limited window to let them sign and it's not like there won't still be decent number of recruits to go through until February.

All in all, I lean slightly against, but a few years of this might change my view.

Doesn't seem to have hurt SC at all (if anything it'll help) and it saves me 6 weeks of anguish. It'll be nice to have all but 5 or 6 slots locked up going into Christmas.

I think you'll find this to be true for all but maybe the top 10 schools in the country - they are the ones who routinely flip recruits "committed" to other schools, then "gray shirt" their own recruits.

Sure he can. Only now he does it in December instead of February.

And if you ever have a really good season they'll steal your coach November so that he can turn around and steal your recruits in December.

It adds a new dynamic which will hurt Alabama. Alabama can no longer play their game of over-offering. Recruits who don't sign early will be able to reassess to see which programs already have a mostly full class or who signed a key player at their same position.

I like the concept but hate the date. The early signing period should have been in early to mid August. Allow the kids who want to get the recruiting process over with so they are free to enjoy their senior football season.

A quick look around other G5 boards and this is going very well.

This is really going to help the G5 and Indy schools. Love it. UMass has done a good job of keeping a lot of recruits names out of the spotlight, trying to hide them from other programs.

Saban can't hate it too much, he just snagged a 5-star recruit:
