    Committed can be anytime and verbally but signed is when the Letter of intent is signed which happens on February of the player's senior year.

        Add to that: signing is only for D1 and D2 when athletic money is being provided. It's a contract. D3 athletes or those not getting athletic money at D1 or D2 don't have such a contract. All commitments are verbal and for the most part coaches and players stick to them. Some players will change their minds as do some coaches but as it's verbal it its easy to break the agreement

          Signed (meaning National Letter of Intent) - Is a binding agreement in which there are Athletic money guaranteed and consequences involved if agreement not meant. This is only for NCAA Division I and II. NAIA has something similar but I do not believe it is called and NLI. Ivy League does not have athletic scholarships there fore they do not have NLI's even though they are DI.

          Committed - Can be a verbal non-binding commitment or very common now a written non-binding athletics celebratory signing. The key is commitment is non binding. Before the NLI date DI&DII athletes may be verbally committed, and although these are mostly honored they are technically non-binding.

            That's the earliest date. The latest is Aug 2019. I wonder if soccer coaches are going to jump on that early date? Many will still be in the midst of their season.

              No, I am sure they will wait for someone else to sign the kids they are interested in. Are you joking. Coaches talk to middle schoolers nowawadays ..... they will sign anyone as early as they possibly can for fear of losing them. No more hysteria about players than coaches.

                That date is even pushing the ED dates for some schools.

                  DI will start signing in a few weeks. Only those in the ncaa tournament will still be playing.

                    In todays timeline, the NLI signing is the culmination of a commitment that occurred as much as 14 months earlier. Sep Junior year is when recruiting window officially opens, and commitment waterfall begins. NLI signing occurs Nov 14 of senior year.

                    The NLI must be signed in the presence of a player’s trusted advisors/guardians away from the college and any of its reprsentatives. The pictures of signing day at the HS serve as evidence of compliance. While necessary these are also celebratory moments, and many D3 players adopt the practice.

                      Good point.

                      But as to college programs waiting until their season is over? It's just paperwork. If they want a player they will have it ready to go.

                        As we know that timeline is more of a "suggestion". There are still many loopholes that make commitments still possible well before that. Families will have to keep their mouths until Sept 1 junior year (good luck with that).
