It’s here. A day when coaches pull whatever hair they have left out as they wait for the signing of the players they have recruited for many months.
National Signing Day is Feb. 5, and The Signal’s sports staff reporters have worked to show you how we believe Georgia State’s fifth recruiting class in the program’s short history will fair.
For the rest of the day, The Signal will tweet updates on this story through our Sports’ Twitter page, @GSUSignalSports.
The Signal would also like to thank the founder of PantherTalk.com Ben Moore as well as his staff for contributing information that was used in our prediction of National Signing Day.
