After being passed by the NCAA rules committee early this year, the first early signing period for Football Recruits runs from December 20-22, 2017. This early signing period mimics the one that has been in place for basketball recruiting for many years, and gives teams the ability to lock down their recruits a month and a half before the traditional “National Signing day”, traditionally on the first Wednesday of February (February 7th this upcoming year).
While many teams are inevitably pushing for their current commits to sign early — thereby ending their recruitment and locking them in with the chosen school — you would be hard pressed to find a school who is set to benefit more from the early signing period than the Miami Hurricanes.
