Latest updates

CSTV and Bill Hodges continue to update us fans with the latest news, which includes another commitment for Ohio State (2008), Herb Sendek uses his Pennsylvania roots to get a new verbal, UTEP gets a big man, and UNI has a decommit.

For those wondering, according to CSTV, the upcoming signing period for basketball is:

  • Basketball Early Signing period: November 8 to 15, 2006
  • Basketball Late Signing period: April 11 to May 16, 2007

    A verbal commitment can come in any time of the year, but it is not binding. However when a recruit signs a letter of intent (LOI), such as during the two signing periods, the signed commitment is binding and a player cannot backout without losing eligibility and having to sit out - unless the university lets the player out, which usually happens when there is a coaching change or a major scandal.

    And in case there are any football fans reading this, according to CSTV and Bill Hodges, the football signing period is:
  • Early Football Signing period: December 20 2006 thru January 15, 2007
  • Late football singing perdiod: Ffebruary 7 thru April 1, 2007

    The difference obviously has to do with the different time frame of the football and basketball signing periods and the number of players that make up a football and basketball team - among other reasons... I am just pointing the obvious here, I am by no means a soccer analyst. (oooops! football analyst) :-)
