What is the NCAA Basketball signing period<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NCAA signing period is when a player commits to a school by signing their National Letter of Intent (NLI)<\/a>. It\u2019s one of the most exciting moments in a players recruitment process. Signing the letter of intent means you are committed to the school and team and your recruitment journey has finally come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the early NCAA Basketball signing period?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the time in November (Fall) for players who are happy with an offer from a school and want to commit early. Remember to always carefully read your national letter of intent and follow the instructions given as there are always specific times and dates that need to be followed and met. If you would like to see the full recruiting calendar CLICK HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the National Letter of Intent (NLI) for NCAA College Basketball?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The national letter of intent is a binding contract between you the player & the school. The player (you) agrees to attend and compete for the school for a minimum of 1 year. You will also sign an athletic aid agreement at the same time. Remember, you are not required to sign an national letter of intent (NLI) but many players choose to do so when they receive one.  By signing your NLI, you are agreeing to attend the school for one year in exchange for the school\u2019s promise (which will be in writing) which says that you will be provided athletic financial aid for the entire academic year. By signing an NLI you are admitted into the school and you are eligible for athletics aid under NCAA rules. With your signing, you have effectively ended your recruitment process. Once the NLI is signed the deal is done and a recruiting ban goes into effect immediately, which means you can no longer be recruited by any other school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

NOTE: You sign your National Letter of Intent only once. You are not required to do it every year.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Do all NCAA Basketball Programs have players sign a NLI?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most Division 1 & Division 2 schools have players sign a NLI. If you are a walk-on you will not sign a NLI.<\/strong> If you are attending a Division 3 school they typically do not have an NLI. NAIA schools and NJCAA schools have their own versions of the national letter of intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
