Here's a purely hypothetical question: What if a player (e.g., Lashley) thinks he's made a mistake by signing with a team because a couple of players ranked higher than he is signed after he did. Could he change his mind and go somewhere else? Or would he have to apply for a transfer and sit out a year?

He needed to base his decision on factors other than that. I'm surprised more high profile kids don't wait until after signing day.

You know, I agree. If I were a coach willing to coddle an ego, I could see getting my high profile recruit to wait a few days just to have their own flashy signing day.

17 Knott, he made his choice

He has signed with an athletes grave yard, For those that don't exactly cut it.

Saban has moved more people to Medical Scholly's than anybody else Times 5.

They ain't hurt, they just can't cut it with him.

Saban apparently coveted those measurables. 44+ vertical. 4.3 40. Reminds me of Dre Kirkpatrick physically at this stage. He turned out ok, I reckon. But Knott has a looooooooooong way to go to be ready to play saban's defense.

Terrell Pryor also. He sunk Rich Rod at MI with his decision.

Dre was 6-2. Nigel claims 5-11, looks 5-9. I'd take my chances with a WR like Bear on a CB like Knott.

Nope. He'd be a transfer and have to sit out a year. The LOI binds the player to the school, but the school isn't obligated to give him a scholarship in the fall. Shocking that the rules would be so weighted in favor of the school over the player.
