Once a year, the college world of perspiring arts almost comes to a halt.
That day is today, national signing day for college football. A day when careers can be made or broken.
This is a day of stress, joy and sadness, but do no expect to hear one coach at any school say he had a disappointing recruiting class.
All will say they are pleased with the latest recruits who are going to lead their institutions to unheard-of glory.
Expect to hear people say recruiting is an inexact science, which is partially correct.
There will be unknowns who become all-conference, even All-Americans, and play in the NFL.
