Signing Day Highlight Videos for each player.

Here's a link to the 10 early enrollees who are already on campus.

SB Nation has also set up a signing day central that includes player profiles.

And remember you can still sign up to see Coach Rod introduce the new class at the Sands Club Wed night.

Jay Dobyns is the man! Great opening video!



Dobyns - "Stars? You kiddin' me, the only stars that matter are the ones you see when an OKG smacks you in the mouth."

ESPN Ranks our class as the #38 overall and #7 in the Pac 12. Let's see if that holds.

I think I saw a tweet that said Nunley's LOI is in but is grayshirting.

This is hands down my favorite video production yet and it isn't even close. You want to how recruits how tough we want our players? Who the fuck is tougher than Jay Dobyns? Nofuckingbody.

Here are some more of the videos Dudek and the Digital Gurus used for the signing day show.

Here's confirmation that Nunley will try to grey shirt.

That's an interesting development IMO. Making room for this years grey shirts?

Gimino with his signing day wrap up.

Signing Day is bigger, crazy and more ego-driven than ever but the party bus didn't swing by Tucson this season.

Coach Rich Rodriguez and the Arizona Wildcats compiled the bulk of their 2015 recruiting class well before kicking off the season and didn't have much last-second, late-night fretting over the whims of a 17-year-old.

"A lot of these guys have been committed for quite some time and there was really no drama today," Rodriguez said at an afternoon press conference to announce 25 players, including nine already enrolled. "It was probably the least amount of drama I've ever experienced as a head coach on national signing day. It was a good day all the way around."

Arizona signed only four players who committed after the start of the season, so any benefits from its 10-win season, Pac-12 South title and appearance in the Fiesta Bowl isn't going to show up until kids from the class of 2016 start making decisions

Coach Rod's signing day press conference.

Javier Morales does a great job of pulling the quotes from the presser and adding his analysis.

Did we sign a couple of guys from Hamilton?

Two guys, a CB and a lineman, are walking on.

When you agree to walk on do you have to sign anything like a LOI?

All athletes need to sign an injury waiver, but that's about it as far as I know. However, some walk-ons are given a "preferred' status, meaning they don't have to try out like other walk-ons do.

I saw a RR quote saying the he wants to give the 12 or so walk-ons a chance at 5 or 6 scholarships, but that won't happen until their junior year. Like RR has complained about, once you give a walk-on a scholarship in their first 2 years that will count against the 25 per year limit.

He also implied that he would be announcing who are the preferred walk-ons once most of them have been accepted by the University.

The Ultimate PAC-12 Football Podcast does a great job of breaking down how everyone in the conference did on signing day. The UofA discussion is at 35 min into the podcast. I didn't recognize their Wildcat expert Rich.

And here's my new gif from signing day,
