National Signing Day used to be a great day! Almost a holiday for some of us that follow recruiting. But, now it's kind of boring. I think the early signing period kind of ruined it. Portal signings have become a bigger deal.

I think it is less the early signing day and more:
- transfers make a bigger impact next year than HS recruits
- kids can leave at any point, including the spring after they sign with you
- fewer and fewer kids are staying a one school for a long time, so you know that at least 15-25% of this class will never contribute at A&M.

I believe the NCAA nixed the Spring Transfer portal window. I think the only portal window is January 5th to 12th or so.

I thought this was going to be about the Alabama girl waiting by the fax machine while the letters of intent came in.

It also used to happen a month into the off season when we were all starved for college football. We are now at the peak of interest with the end of the season, playoff speculation, and coaching drama. Recruiting is just kinda there in the background.
