With Wednesday being the start of the early signing period, thought I'd start this thread to post any news (tweets, articles, pictures, videos, etc.) of future Olympic Sport Buffs officially signing their National Letters of Intents (NLI's).
NOTE- I am going to be in HEAVY travel (and then recovery from travel) mode the next few days, so I may not be able to update this thread with the new signing news as timely as I have in past years. I will update as I have the chance and of course, as always, if any of you see anything, please feel free to post it.
The main purpose of this thread is NOT to post news of newly found commitments, which is already covered in the http://www.allbuffs.com/threads/recruiting-news-olympic-sports.101643/ thread. However, If any new (unknown to us) commits do pop up during the signing process, especially during the early signing days, I'll probably post them both places. Although I'm starting this thread right before the start of the early signing period, I think we can (and I will) use this thread to report on ANY 2018 class signings throughout ALL the signing periods.
________________________________________________________________
As noted in the above linked recruiting thread, signing dates for the Olympic sports are (Source- http://www.nationalletter.org/signingDates/future.html):
For all but soccer, Olympic sport NCAA formal signing periods are:
Early Signing Period: November 8 - November 15, 2017 (Same as basketball)
Regular Signing Period: April 11 - August 1, 2018
Now that football has instituted an early signing period, only Soccer and men's water polo still only have one signing period, which is for this 2018 class- Feb. 7 through August 1st 2018
______________________________________________________________________
For ease of reference, from the main recruiting thread, expected commitments for next academic year (2018/19) we know about so far that could be signing as early as tomorrow are:
(Note- it seems team sport athletes commit and in many cases sign much earlier than those in individual sports, so expect more individual sport athletes to become known and sign as the year goes on. Also, of course, circumstances change, so assume some verbal commits listed below below may not end up as Buffs.) :
