National Letter of Intent Day

Today is a day that ends all the madness in College Football known as National Signing Day. Today is the day when the High School Class of 2013 can sign to play football at their chosen colleges. Up until today, a recruit would give a verbal commitment, but they were not bound to that commitment in any way. Today, they sign their National Letters of Intent and these verbal commitments now become binding for both the school and the athlete.

As of the time of me writing this, WVU currently has 24 verbal Commitments, but there always seem to be a signing day surprise in store, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing depends on what happens. Players will change their minds at the last moment possible, meaning we could either lose a prospective recruit to another school or we may flip a player to sign with us that has been committed to another school. It's always interesting to see how this works out.

In my opinion, this season doesn't seem to have many knock out players from first glance. However that all changes once they hit the field. I've seen 5 Star Superstars turn out to be busts and I've seen no name 1 star recruits turn into NFL First Round Draft Picks. It all depends on the individual and how they approach the next level of their playing career.

The recruiting sites will be a buzz today, it is usually their most busy day of the year.
