Were just about 1 day away from Signing Day. That wonderful day when we all sit around our computers and televisions, hinging our hopes and dreams of championships on the decisions of a high school kid.
It's insane that a kid that young can ruin our football lives until fall camp begins.
More to come soon, until then tune into ESPNU beginning at 8 am Mountain time on Wednesday to see what 17 year old kids make and break your day.
