This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I don't see anything covered here regarding 'an out' if there's a coaching change. I think it should be one-sided though - a school can't cut loose a kid who signed, buy a kid can break their commitment if there's a coaching change (head coach and perhaps one other coach - a kid could leave if their recruiter or anticipated position coach left the program or was fired).

Sounds good, but the end result might just be firings later in the calendar to not interfere with a good class.

How about requiring coaches to sit out a year when they "transfer" from school to school. Bet that would keeps busy.

Yeah. The challenge is that coaches can freely move and the players are entirely restricted. Any reform has to close that gap. (For what it's worth, what's magical about February? Why not allow unenrolled kids 30 days from a coaching change?)

The issue would be most desirable locations would already have a full class.
