I almost posted this exact same thought in the Barksdale thread less than 5 minutes ago!
I have wondered for a few years now why football doesn't have an early signing period like basketball does.
Now we know that the NCAA always has the best interest of the kid in mind. (Isn't that one of the main reasons why a playoff isn't feasible?) As such, it seems logical that having an early signing period would be in the best interest of the kids. Maybe they wouldn't be subjected to the media circus quite as much, which has to be good for the kids. Let them make their decision, make it official, and then move on and enjoy the rest of their high school career.
But you are correct. It is a pipe dream. And there are many people (recruiting services) who make big bucks off of the current system who like it just the way it is.
