All-Metro lacrosse players Casey Ancarrow and Allyson Carey, who led John Carroll to last spring's IAAM A Conference title, are expected to sign national letters of intent to play their sports at James Madison and Vanderbilt, respectively, on Wednesday when the NCAA's November early signing period begins.
St.
Frances basketball player Sean Mosley, a three-time All-Metro
selection, and Loyola lacrosse attackman Steele Stanwick, the reigning
All-Metro Player of The Year, will sign on Wednesday to play their
respective sports at the universities of Maryland and Virginia.
Also expected to
sign is First-team All-Metro girls basketball player Danielle Parker of
Dulaney, who is headed for the University of Delaware.
In
swimming, Fallston's Courtney Kalisz, an Olympic hopeful in the
200-butterly and other events, will sign with Southern California.
High school seniors may sign national letters of intent accepting
athletic scholarships from NCAA institutions during the November early
signing period, which begins on Wednesday and lasts through Nov. 21.
The November signing period includes most sports, such as basketball,
lacrosse, baseball, golf, softball, swimming and wrestling.
DigitalSports
lists all of the athletes who are committing to schools for sports
whose early signing period has been designated for November, regardless
of whether or not the institution is division I, II or III, or whether
or not it offers athletic scholarships.
Many division I and division II schools participate in the signing of
national letters of intent.
However,
America's service academies, such as Navy and West Point, and Ivy
League Schools, such as Princeton, and Harvard, do not offer
scholarships or participate in the practice.
Some Patriot League schools also do not participate in the early signing program.
Sports such as football, field hockey and soccer have their own signing period in February.
The early signing periods in track and field and
for cross country have been eliminated, and water polo also no longer
has an early signing period, according to www.national-letter.org.
