I do agree that many of our targets are probably going to be those guys who wait. They'll hope to still get new offers by the big boys from the guys who don't sign now - but this process gives us a good chance to be the close second choice and pickup some of those players coming off of our success and with our coaching staff looking like they will hang around for longer than most people envisioned.

I actually think it might be a little the other way. The 5* guys will sign whenever they want - they have all the leverage. The high 3*/low 4* guys are right now getting pressured heavily into signing today or their offer will go to somebody else. The schools have all the leverage on those guys to force them by saying if you don't sign you really aren't committed and we need to look elsewhere. So those guys have to either sign or roll the dice and hope that they still get what they want in February. There is no dice on the 5*.

I think we actually agreed lol - 5* guys waiting, high 3* and 4* guys signing now since they might get scholarship offers retracted, and other 3* guys getting passed on, then signing with G5 programs in Feb.
I probably could have typed more clearly.
