The early signing period has arrived and over the next three days, a good chunk of USF’s 2019 recruiting class are expected to sign their national letters of intent and make their collegiate destinations to Tampa official.
Here’s our 2019 recruiting primer to get you up to speed on who could be signing over the next 72 hours, some potential flips and potential surprises.
We’ll consistently update this post as the signings roll in. Unlike last year where we made an individual post for half the class, we’ll keep most of the happenings right here.
