Top prospects set to commit during the early signing period
Signing week lasts from November 9 through November 16. The early signing period is a seven-day period where a player is able to sign their legally binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to attend a college. 87 of the 2023 On3 Consensus top 100 players have already committed, heading into the early signing period, but the back half of the week still has come commitments to go.
I lay out the players who are slated to commit later during signing week.
