Nice to be reminded of the day I signed my LOI with Tennessee. Proud day for these kids.

You had to sign a letter to volunteer?

Where do I get one of these Letters of Intent? Seems CJF is missing a great opportunity to recruit a replacement now that Gambit has declared for the NFL draft.

Honestly just getting in for the updates

Do they still use fax machines for this? I guess that's a bit more exciting than the recruit signing the LOI, scanning it, then emailing it as a pdf.

It looks like the PSU video has 22 on the board for signing day?//

Lasch still has fax machines that use paper. This is part of the facility upgrades Franklin has been talking about.

When did this early signing become the norm? I remember as recently as when this senior class were signing it was all on February 2nd. Are all 17 expected to sign today?

I think so. The only guy in limbo is possibly Dunmore...

Last year was the first year with December signing and to the best of my knowledge, the only current commit who may not sign today is John Dunmore. We also appear to have a good chance to pick up a commit from a 4 star RB, Noah Cain

I believe last year was the first year. There is an early signing period and then the traditional signing day. The idea was to take kids that were fully committed and also to allow them to enroll early after there was a document committing both school and player. It also allows the coaches to concentrate on a lower number of uncommitted players after the bowl season.

I am not sure how many are expected to sign although, last year, almost all did for all schools. The Feb LOI day is now about 10% of what it was in previous years.

Last year was the first year for an early signing period. However, if last year and it looks like this year is any indication this "early signing period" should really just be national signing day and February is the "late signing period" because classes will be mostly full after today and a few late guys will sign in February.

Looks like Dax Hill flipped back to Michigan.

Pretty cool on Facebook Live... they break it as each LOI comes in and are live inside the room. Give highlights of players as their LOI's come in.
