During this time, a recruit can sign a National Letter of Intent (NLI). The letter is binding, meaning that a recruit has a penalty if they change their mind after signing the NLI (usually they must sit out a year if they transfer). Presently, the women who are listed as being committed have only given their [I][B]verbal[/B] [/I]commitment, which is [U]NOT binding[/U]. During the aforementioned early signing period, a recruit that signs an NLI is guaranteed an academic scholarship for the following year, and the school is guaranteed that the recruit cannot sign on with a different school without said penalty. If a student athlete does not sign during the early signing period, they must wait until the end of spring to sign a NLI (or decide not to sign one at all, although this is exceedingly rare). [/QUOTE]
