Hi folks. Welcome to an unofficial national holiday -- national signing day. We'll begin with updates at 8 a.m. What will be the biggest surprise today? Could be Lancaster DE/SportsDayHS Defensive POY Daeshon Hall, who'll announce his commitment at the school's 9:30 a.m. ceremony. We'll keep you updated throughout the day on Hall and others around the Metroplex. Thanks for stopping by.

No surprise; Record-setting Jesuit WR Jake Oliver signs with Texas. Number one in Texas history in career receptions. #Hookem
Absolutely @fwcsportsnut. You should also check out Corbett Smith's story in today's SportsDay. If you're a high school freshman or younger, watch out.

Today is only the first day the NCAA allows players to sign. Players technically have until April 1, 2013 to sign.
