I found the whole interview, and it's even worse. He comes off looking lazy. http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/college-recruiting/2013/feb/27/sec-coach-supports-new-recruiting-rules/ And this statement is, well...nuts? Mullen: Another idea is for early signing period – which is the most worn-out storyline in the history of recruiting. But Mullen’s idea has a twist: “I’d be in favor of an early signing period but before that early signing period, you can’t take any official visits. You can’t even take an official visit to the school you’re signing with … because basically, if you’re going to sign early, you knew you wanted to go there all along.” Mullen said an early signee would still be able to take an official visit, but after the early signing period.“The argument against it would be, how could a kid commit if they haven’t taken an official visit? But some kids already know where they want to go. How could they commit before their senior year if they haven’t taken an official visit?”
