If you were unaware, today is the opening day for the early signing period for all College sports not named Football. Matt Harris already spent some time going over the different approach this staff has taken with it’s recruiting approach versus the previous staff. And today is the day when it starts to pay off, when kids put their name on a sheet that gets sent to Missouri and binds the two together.
And while it rarely gets the notoriety and excitement around the Football teams signing day, there’s still a lot to feel good about on a day like today. Coming off a win on Monday, Dennis Gates expects to cement his first fall recruiting class at Missouri with 3 signees, all rated a composite 4-star by 247sports.com and their composite rating of all the recruiting sites. The class is good enough for a top-20 ranking in the country (Seventeenth to be exact) and the 4th best class in the SEC (although that can change as commitments roll in for other teams).
We’ll keep this post updated as the news of the day rolls in.
