Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the NLI is binding on both parties once signed correct? As I understand it, the school is bound to honor that scholarship amounts listed in the NLI and the student would be a counter regardless if coaches try to run him off for at least a year. I think the gist of the early NLI signing would be that if you want a kid and sign him early, the coach just tied up a percentage of scholly and now has a counter on his future roster so they will be much more selective in who the "sign" early and thus, eliminate some of the early commits that are only detrimental to the kid. Kids and parents would also seriously have to consider is it wise to commit to big State U knowing that if you dont honor NLI, you will lose a year...
