National Signing Day 2013: Where the Top 50 Recruits Signed
For the first time in quite some time, I was closely tuned in to and interested in National Signing Day for the Class of 2013 commitments which took place earlier this week on Feb. 6. The pageantry and build-up surrounding NSD is as great as any other similar one-day extravaganza -- including,, in my opinion, the NBA and NFL drafts,.
Not only are programs on the verge affected -- getting that last piece that may get them over the top -- or missing out on the guy that could have been a game-changer, so many young lives lie in the balance,, making for some of the best reality television there is,.
While some have begun to decry the sensational nature of the programming and hype surrounding these guys, it seems to me that National Signing Day is just a reflection of the passionate fan bases across the country who care deeply for their teams, but also the individual players that give them a few hours of escape from reality on Saturday afternoons in the fall.
This slideshow is devoted to the 50 best players in the country for the 2013 class and where they will be putting on the pads and cleats next fall. Enjoy!
