From Frank's press conference:

On the new early signing period coming up on December 20^th:
"It's a little different. We were out last week recruiting and I was a little nervous about that. I wanted to get started on this next game. I want these guys to end the season on a high note. They're deserving of it, so I want to make sure we're as ready as possible to play a great football game. We went out though, but we're not going out this week. A lot of schools are going to be out this week recruiting. We're right at our numbers in terms of signing players, and the players that have committed to us know that we're preparing for a bowl game and we just can't get to everybody because the signing date is on the 20^thwhen we're at the bowl game. It'll be more e-mail than fax. That should work well, but the timing is not the best but it's workable.

On having an early signing period of December 20^th:
"There are players that are ready to sign right now, there's no question about it. Almost all of our guys we have committed right now are going to be signing on the 20^th. In that regard, it seems to be working out well for us. There's an opportunity for players to sign on two different dates; one is the original date, the first Wednesday in February, and this one. The worry about waiting until February to have guys sign won't be there for us. In saying that, you look at it from the standpoint of having scholarships open up right before the last singing date, or for a guy who is going to grad school and wants one final year here. You have to be careful with the early signing date in. We want the majority of the class signed, but want a scholarship or two open beyond that first date."
