I'm of the feeling that it's causing more problems than it's worth.

The big advantage for kids is that they will know who the coach is for at least their freshman year unless they get hired by the NFL or get into trouble. Meaning they won't think they are choosing a spread offense and end up in a Wing t.

For coaches it gives new staffs at least a short period of time to have a shot at the kids in their area or doesn't tie them down to kids they would normally take b/c it doesn't fit their system.

What else?
