That is not true, I think the majority are committed already or will be before Thanksgiving after visits. Just look at the prospect list on scout or rivals. The majority of guys are committed. Those that aren't are the ones that don't have any good offers yet and are relying on senior tape.
Next, an early signing period isn't going to force kids to make a committment that they may regret. It will require kids that want to commit early aka David Kenney stick with his committment. I think people forget the meaning of the word commit. Either way if he isn't sure he wants to come to Iowa he doesn't need to commit and you still have the late signing period in February. This makes kids think about it more early on in the process.
To me a signing day on Labor day and in Feb make the most sense. Make a committment what it truly is. A committment.
