What and when is the Early Signing Period?
College Football’s 2nd ever Early Signing Period will take place starting on December 19th, and continue until December 21st. The Early Signing Period has become the newest, most important recruiting “event” in the annual recruiting calendar.
Why is the ESP so important?
Now that so many recruits will sign and be bound to National Letter of Intents a full 2 months before February’s signing day, the recruiting timeline has moved up significantly. If the last 2 years are any indication, there’s all kinds of jockeying to fill the final spots in everyone’s classes, and the sped up timeline combined with the fact that there will soon be much fewer recruits available has made the recruiting process all the more competitive.
