National Signing Day 2018
National Signing Day is actually a Early Signing Period for basketball. Beginning Wednesday morning Class of 2019 players can sign National Letters of Intent (NLI’s) to their college of choice. Typically only the top 20 players in the state have the option of signing early.
Below you can see the seniors confirmed to be signing. While none of these are unexpected after they already verbally committed the confirmation indicates the verbal commitment is hours away from becoming a formal document binding the player and school.
Drew Pember (Tennessee) of Bearden will sign November 14th at 7:45 A.M. Eastern Standard Time.
KJ Johnson (Marshall County) verbally committed to Lipscomb University after July. He will sign Friday.
