National Signing Day ...

... sounds like a day that honors deaf people.

Instead, it's about kids going to college. I wrote today about how I think the whole thing is a little over the top and promptly heard both from readers and on talk radio about how I was wrong. That's fine - disagreement is good and, as I wrote, there are some positives to the whole recruiting frenzy. I still think, however, that we're heading in the wrong direction here: At one point during my interview with scout.com's Jamie Newberg I asked him if he could see the industry starting to rate kids at an even younger age than they are now. "We mostly stick with rising seniors in football," he said. "In basketball it's different but I can't see us doing rankings for football sophomores or freshman. Then again, if people want it then I guess you never know."

To me, that's the bad part. No one knows where this craze ends. And each time it gets a little bigger, another sliver of a kid's youth gets taken away.
