I know others have seen this stat but thought I would share as parents and players start to get nervous about early signing period. This isn't to scare off anyone or depress them but to give you a dose of reality. If you are lucky (good) enough to be getting interest...congratulations. Also if u have not had a lot of interest yet keep at it. I remember seeing a stat a few years back that less than 50 % ( I think it was well below 50) sign early.
