The signing period can be wild with some recruits putting pen to paper while others have a change of mind and reopen recruiting or flat out signing with another program.

Remember, this is only the early signing period. National Signing Day isn't until Feb. 5, 2025, so it would be wise to anticipate plenty of moving and shaking over the next couple of months.
