Has Coach McGraw ever received a commitment from a high profile recruit on signing day? Or after? I cannot recall one recently, though I think Arike committed kind of late in the process.
I'm wondering if I should temper my expectations at this point, if after all, it's rarely occurred in the past, it's not likely to happen in the future. Especially, it seems, when we're recruiting against other major programs.

Good question (or maybe inopportune question)

I know Jordan Nixon was late in the process, but I don't think it was during the signing period. Often those are top candidates and we don't often get top candidates (1-5) but we do have one this year. When did Skylar sign?

Jordan Nixon- Wasn’t she recruited

Hard to know how long we were recruiting for. But she committed Sept. 30. So still over a month before the early signing period.
Thanks. She does look like she will be good. *

I believe that Skylar signed on the last day possible. *

ND lean. She attended a game on the Tuesday night before the end of the signing period. I saw her exchanging hugs with Niele and Muffet after the game, so I figured that she had chosen ND.
