NLI Signing

I received a couple of E-mails and a phone call yesterday from fans wanting to know more about the National Letter of Intent Signing Day. The overwhelming theme was this… Do we know who is signing prior to February 3rd? Or do most prospective student-athletes decide on February 3rd?

Some great questions and we certainly enjoy hearing from each and every one of you. For the most part I would say the student-athletes know which institution they are signing with prior to February 3rd. For many it’s days and weeks prior to signing day when they verbally commit to a scholarship offer. Of course, there are always some last minute additions or change of heart scenarios. Winona State has had good success in signing tremendous student-athletes because of the great balance we have to offer. When prospective students come on campus it’s easy for them to see that balance. They know that they will engage in campus/community service, create lifelong friendships, compete at the highest level and most importantly graduate with a degree. We are also very lucky in the fact that we have coaches who are among the best in the country and work hard to bring in quality student-athletes.
