The early signing period begins Wednesday, and a lot has happened since the pandemic-mandated dead period reopened in June and recruits were able to start visiting campuses again.
Amid various coaching changes, conference realignment and name, image and likeness guidelines going into place in some states, top recruits have had a lot to consider.
In less than 24 hours, most of the recruits on board will make their decisions official. Many yet to go public with a pick will do the same, in what should be a frantic and dramatic Early Signing Period. Recruits can sign between Wednesday and Friday unless they elect to ink a National Letter of Intent during the traditional signing window, which opens Feb.
