The early signing period is nothing but good for GT. We know that we have 18 players in the bag. We also know earlier that C'Bo is a waffler and we can't count on him. This is way better than him verbally committing, then just flipping out of nowhere the last week of January. This puts pressure on the factories to not play the same games they did before, where they would go grab up players away from teams like us b/c the 5-star they were in on decided on a different factory late in the game (Although I'm sure they are going to invent new games, such as pressuring recruits to wait until February, or even offering scholarships that are only acceptable in the 2nd signing period, or other shadiness like that).
