Is there still a national signing day in February? I know there was, but did it become the December signing period. I'm wondering if more will sign in February. If there is, I wonder who'll sign... From here, Coach Candle did a hell of a job recruiting players to UConn...

Yes, but they'll be signing their first NIL check instead.
