pretty sure all signing days regardless if they are getting something or not are just for show....if not for show what else would they be for?
I agree with old_school. All signing days are for show. No need to imply the D3 signing is any less than a D1 signing. Some D3 players turn out to be better than D1 players down the road so I am not sure why we need a distinction on signing day. Committing to play for a college is a big deal imho regardless of the level. Most of us never even played high school ball let alone college baseball so imho, signing to play at the collegiate level should be celebrated.
Just for clarification...is the letter the D1 commit signs on signing day a binding contract? Or is that taken care of prior to that event?
