But: Most slots will be full as of the early signing date.
... and once those NLIs are signed it's infinitely harder for programs to 'process' out lower rated guys to free up a scholarship for someone who re-opens their recruitment.
For the recruits it turns into an experience like buying Christmas presents at the last minute - you might score but it's going to be stressful since things are picked over, out of stock or just plain unavailable. You might end up giving your girlfriend a toaster and a bottle of three buck chuck.
