Early Signing Period Begins

For recruitniks, there are few times a year more exciting than the National Letter of Intent signing periods. While football fans have to wait until February to know who will be suiting up for their favorite team just a couple months later, most other sports see recruits sign well before their high school careers come to a close.

Such is the case in lacrosse. High school seniors can put their names to letters of intent yesterday through next Wednesday, and they won’t see a college field in (regular-season) competition until nearly 18 months from now. Here is a list of expected signees either to Michigan colleges or from the state of Michigan:

Some of these guys have already signed, I’m sure (and not all of them may be legit, as LaxPower isn’t 100% reliable), but stay tuned throughout the week as the updates come in.
