College signings for the 2004 Class

I know most of the guys don't sign until the November signing period, but there is a lot of contact going on now .....

Has anyone signed early? Who's going where?

 

NC, because there always seems to be a lot of confusion around the terms "signings" and "commitments," I thought I might waiver a bit from your thread's topic and mention a few of the specifics:

(1) No D1 or D2 baseball player can sign anything that commits him until the "early signing period," which runs for a week each early November during his senior year in high school. It's during that period that the player may sign a National Letter of Intent (NLI), which formally commits him may to play at that school in return for some amount of athletic scholarship (also frequently referred to as a "grant-in-aid"). If no athletic money is received by the player (i.e. "invited" walk-ons), there's no reason to sign an NLI.

(2) A "verbal commitment" may be made to a program anytime, but the only BINDING arrangement is made when an NLI is signed.

(3) If a player doesn't sign during the "early signing period," he must wait until the following April 1st, when a lengthier signing period begins. It runs until the following August. Many players make verbal commitments between the "early signing period" and April 1st. They then follow up with a signed NLI on April 1st.

(4) The junior colleges have a separate NLI process, which carries its own schedule.

 

It's always nice to hear from the "pro" ....

You need to post more Prepster .... no one around here knows more about what's going on ....

Ok .... re-phrased ....

Has anyone heard about any "Summer Signings" from the 2003 graduating class or have they heard about any verbal commitments from the '04's ?????

 

Thanks Prepster-Alot of people did not know this. Great post!
