On Friday morning, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that a new concept has been brought to light: a “Rolling Signing Day.” The idea remains in its infancy, but it would expedite the signing process, allowing recruits to ink with a school once they’ve signed their agreement.
“The idea: Recruits can currently receive written contract offers on Aug. 1 heading into their senior year. Currently, they can’t formalize the agreements with schools until the December signing period, which means the deals aren’t binding. That leaves uncertainty on both sides,” Thamel wrote on X.
“The idea of a Rolling Signing Day would mean that when an offer is accepted by a recruit, they can sign an agreement that’s binding by both parties.”
