National Signing Day Starts Today

[HooperScooper]

Today is the first day for the early signing period. #2 class behind Duke.

2. CONNECTICUT HUSKIES​

The class: Braylon Mullins, Darius Adams, Eric Reibe and Jacob Furphy.

Bossi's take: Not that Dan Hurley cares all that much about about recruiting rankings, but Connecticut is starting to experience a real bump in the level of player that they attract due to being back-to-back National Champions.

Arguably the top shooter in the senior class, Mullins is a perimeter sniper with deep range and good athleticism. He's also a competitor on the defensive side of the ball. Although Mullins is the lone five-star in the class, Adams and Reibe are knocking on the door of five-star status.

Adams is a polished wing scorer. Reibe is a big man who has the size to anchor the paint to go along with the skill to face-up and shoot it. An import from Australia, Furphy is a play-making wing who should be able to play multiple positions.

Most importantly, these are all grinders who fit the ethos of Huskies.

National signing day which obligates the signee to go through the formality of asking "permission" to re-open their recruitment.

It is a shame that it is going away.

In one of the other threads there were some posts saying the Big East isn't very good this year and the recruiting is down. This article highlights the 2025 recruits in each conference. Considering how many teams are in the B1G and SEC the Big East stacks up decently. Of course that is mostly due to UConn, but Butler and Marquette have top 15 classes. There are also a lot of uncommitted top 100 guys (21 of the top 100 players on 247Sports) still available so all this could change by May.

National Signing Day is officially here. And although the majority of prospects in the 2025 class have already made their college decisions, there is still a lot of five-star talent on the table.

Big East recruiting is fine. On the court....oof.

Signing day is basically meaningless now.

There will still be a signing day. Just a different agreement.

Established in 1964, the NLI program has existed as the formal, binding agreement between prospective athletes and college programs for the past 60 years. The NLI will be replaced by a new financial aid agreement that will provide many of the same core functions as the NLI and will likely be tied to a contract related to an impending revenue-sharing model across college athletics.

The NCAA Division I Council has approved the immediate elimination of the national letter of intent program, marking a historic shift to the recruiting landscape.

Exciting that 2 of our recruits are signing, but also signing a NLI is meaningless

Will it have more binding power (a bad thing) or will it be largely a ceremonial day to drum up something to talk about?

Although Mullins is the lone five-star in the class, Adams and Reibe are knocking on the door of five-star status.

i thought Adams was a 5* did his ranking drop? Reibe should be a 5* too

i thought Adams was a 5* did his ranking drop? Reibe should be a 5* too

I think on some sites he is and some he isn't.
