"Signing day" signifies a critical moment in college sports, particularly in American football and basketball, when high school athletes formally commit to a college or university. On this day, athletes typically sign a National Letter of Intent, binding them to play for their chosen school. This event generates significant attention, as it reflects an athlete's future trajectory and a school’s recruiting efforts. Signing day symbolizes both achievement for the athlete and is an important milestone in the competitive landscape of collegiate athletics.
