Did not pick Iowa on my bingo card to be one of the first teams to pick up a decent player

I'm much happier with this than 8 - 9th graders trying to make decisions. Seems like that's a better recipe for more transfers. And I say that as a fan that benefitted from Carlini's early decision. I wonder if there could be an early window for coaches and players to talk and for players to receive offers, and then a later date at which these commitments can start happening. It would require the commitments be a bit more official and binding, which I guess would be hard to normalize across institutions with different acceptance criteria. Otherwise there has to be a sea change in attitude. As long as there are only 12 programs to win a national championship, and only a few with a reasonable chance in any one year, I think we're going to see this rush continue. This is literally the system we have now! June 15th prior to junior year coaches and players can talk. Three day window in November of their senior year to officially sign. The problem everyone is having is players and coaches are actually honoring their verbal commitment. Do you really want to be bc it all where a player has a row of hats and plays which team am I putting on my head during his signing day conference?

I think changing the recruiting timeline is actually stoking more transfer activity. Coaches don't have the same number of long-term scholarship commitments they used to, so they're a lot freer to go "shopping" and rework things after the fact. It used to be, even if a scholarship did open up, they could only get a 1 year or 2 years transfer because that slot was spoken for. Now, there's a lot more flexibility in making moves -- which leads to even more thanks to the chain reaction of players coming in and and pushing others down the depth chart, and the cycle continues.

As an American who loves and values collegiate athletics, this has been one of the worst aspects of it lol. Too much spectacle not enough admiring of future plans.

Speaking of spectacle, it could be a much more obnoxious social media process like football and basketball. There are 9th and 10th graders putting out instagram posts every other weekend saying “thankful to receive an offer from X school #notcommitted” with them in that school’s gear. They do get to weigh their options for a while and take visits, but those posts are cringeworthy anytime I see them pop up.
