'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee)

Does NLI even matter anymore? Couldn’t they just transfer out if they change their mind?

There is no NLI any more
The NCAA eliminated the National Letter of Intent (NLI), on October 9, 2024, ending a program that had held major significance in the college recruiting process. The change comes as the NCAA is potentially close to major changes across the landscape, including the elimination of scholarship limits and changes to amateurism rules that now allow student-athletes to earn money from their name, image and likeness.
 
I am inclined to believe Tennessee has his paperwork for the following reason: Not necessarily from our own inside making an official statement if they were told to keep it quiet, but because OSU has their own process with staff and recruits. If he signed, most likely their insiders know as well. As such, no surprise that Bill Kurelic at 247 OSU is saying Sanders to Tennessee.
 
If he signs today then who cares when the ceremony is held? TN—assuming that’s the choice—will have paperwork in hand and he’s a Vol regardless whether or not it’s announced publicly.
Yea thats my thought process. He signs today, we don't announce it and he reveals his decision next week.
