National Signing Day

National Signing Day.. another somewhat lame excuse for the media to exploit high school athletes. I wouldn't say that the actually day is bad. The kids probably like the attention of the media as they sign their letters of intent. Leading up to that though, the highly ranked recruits are overly criticized and judged on their athletic talent. ESPN and others, ranking these high school kids, grading them on their physical attributes and abilities. It's like we're going to be able to know exactly how good they will be at the next level before they even get there. Sad sad story.
