Stayed tuned to the site and our Twitter feed as we post the announcements as they arrive, all week long. Some of these signees have waited a long time since they initially committed -- perhaps as long as three or four years have passed since they first committed. Due to the extended nature of early recruiting, we'll likely find a few surprises in the announcements, as plans may have changed. Congratulations to all the signees!
