If the browser on your laptop or other device seems extra slow on or around Feb. 3, resist the temptation to throw the gadget against the wall. Just remember it is National Signing Day for college football. In about two weeks, the internet will be shut down or close to it and the cure is readily available. Curing crazy is always a good thing, and one way the NCAA can do that is to approve an early signing period in addition to the one they have now.

That is the only way reasonable young men of their word will not have to go through what Temple football recruit Kareem Gaulden is going though now. Gaulden, a defensive back, was one of the early recruits Matt Rhule was able to snag for the Owls. If there had been an early signing day, like last summer when Gaulden gave his word, there would be no poaching of recruits.

Gaulden took to twitter and expressed his displeasure with the situation last week.

That tweet immediately made Gaulden a fan favorite at Temple, someone who to this class might be what All-American defensive back Kareem Ali Jr. was to the last class. Ali is the son of two former Temple athletes, one a football player and the other a track star, who grew up going to Owl games. After originally committing to a Power 5 school, Ali realized his dream was to play for the school that he cheered for all his life and flipped back to Temple. Ali is a guy who needed time to make up his mind. Gaulden represents the other kind of guy, a player who knows all along where he wanted to go.

Both kinds of players deserve their own signing days, and the NCAA should make that happen.

Gaulden earned the same kind of love from Temple fans after that tweet. Fans love players who keep their word, and those are the great majority of athletes who commit early. An early signing period would eliminate the craziness of other schools coming in to try to flip recruits and those high school players deserve that option. The later period should be for players who need extra time to make up their minds.

Either way, having two signing periods would eliminate the craziness that marks the first Wednesday of the second month every year.
