Momentum building for June signing period

[Fargo Husker]

TL;DR - if approved, would created the 3-day signing period in June, push up the December signing period by a week, and create a dead period for the month of July. Would go into effect for next year's recruiting class (2026).

Rhule seems to identify early so im thinking this might be good for us.

Not only that, but I cannot imagine the grind college coaches go through.

It's good for their mental health to get a couple weeks in July to dial efforts back a bit. But, yes good for Nebraska and Rhule IYAM.

They should be slowing things down not speeding them up. Let kids be kids without having to worry about their life essentially be sorted out entering their junior year of high school

So there will be 3 signing days?

Yes, if they want to change anything it's that they should add way more time to dead periods.

Not super surprising. I don't know how the current calendar is sustainable with everything happening right at the end of the season.

A positive for the athlete piece of this is schools will be less able to slow play a kid going into their senior year. 2026 and 2027 kids are already committing etc. Let them sign and be kids for their senior season.

It will definitely be interesting to see how schools and recruits play it. My worry is that schools will just end up releasing kids from their NLI or telling them to fuck off right when they get to campus because now they can leave at any time anyways.

Are national letters of intent even meaningful anymore with the Wild West of portals and immediate eligibility? Honest question that IDK the answer to.

I had the same thought whilst reading this thread. Why even bother anymore?

It might make it harder for a school to dump a kid, but marginally so because no one is going to stay where they aren't welcome. It doesn't do anything for players because they can sign and transfer the second they hit campus.
