On the "commits" note, NLI early signing period starts tomorrow. Teams and fans finally get to publicly welcome players as they put their Herbie Hancocks to paper. It is fun to follow all of the verbal commitments, but it doesn't really mean a thing until the contract is signed. How firm NLIs are is also debatable, but they make the commitments feel more real. Hoping to hear something early out of GCU MBB tomorrow on the one committed player that is known, and maybe see one or two that were off the radar pop up.

GCU signs 4-star point guard Jovan Blacksher
