Early Commitments

High school athletes can make oral commitments to attend colleges any time, but Wednesday was the first day they could sign letters of intent to play basketball or any other sport except football, women’s volleyball, field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer or men’s water polo. If athletes choose not to sign during the current early signing period, which continues through Nov. 18, they can sign again beginning April 7. The following is a list of county players who have announced oral commitments:
