The Early Signing Period looms large over college football. Before high school prospects put pen to paper, the Kentucky football coaching staff has two weekends to host official visitors.
In previous years, the final weekend before signing day served as the day to seal the deal, reserving spots for dozens of official visitors. The Early Signing Period has changed that. Now prospects use official visits frequently throughout the fall football season, and even more so over the summer, a new phenomenon.
The changes in the recruiting calendar have dwindled the late official visits to campuses.
