In this case Taggart. Dont know anything about the kid, but he planned to enroll in January. In some ways its fair of course, because the kids arent bound, but are they sophisticated enough to plan accordingly? Maybe one advantage of the early signing period is if your offer gets pulled right before you plan to sign, other schools likely still have spaces available for the second signing date.

The other side of the coin is that if a new coach comes in and decides he doesn't like a previous commitment and doesn't feel he can play, is it really fair to him to honor it anyway and have him sit on the bench for four years? Better to let the kid know right away and let him find a place that appreciates his talents more.
