Ole Miss Early Signing Period 2017: Tracking the early signees as they make it official

Merry Crootin Christmas, folks! And this just isn’t any old Crootin Christmas, this is the inaugural Early Signing Period Crootin Christmas. For the majority of Wednesday morning and afternoon, the decisions of high schoolers and junior college players will re-shape rosters, depth charts, and scholarship numbers for football programs all over the country and make a whole lot of people very angry/happy on Twitter dot com.

To help you sift through the insanity, we've set up this post in order to track who's signing where and who's still up for grabs. Below, you’ll see three lists: 1) recruits who have signed LOIs with Ole Miss early, 2) recruits who have committed to Ole Miss and we expect to sign early, and 3) targets who remain uncommitted and might sign early with Ole Miss. We’ll be moving guys from list to list throughout the day as updates come in.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, y’all!
