The Early Signing Period has begun!

The race for the top 2020 recruiting class has been ongoing for a while now, but it is time for some players to put pen to paper with their commitment. Certain players will hold off on signing or committing until February, but a large number of recruits signed on Wednesday.

Obviously, a recruiting ranking does not mean much without coaching and development. However, the rankings are put together for a reason, and there’s no denying there is some worth in them.
