Recruiting and player signings often work in a trickle down
effect. Once the D1 schools have moved on to the next class then the next phase
of commitments and signings begins to heat up.


 


Here are some of the new ones we have been privy to, please
feel free to email me if you have more commitments/signings to report for the
Class of 2013.
