Early college signings: A look at Southland prep recruits' decisions
Wednesday was the first day for members of the high school class of 2023 to sign an early national letter of intent for sports other than football.
Schools across the Southland were having celebrations. As signings come in, this blog will be updated.
For Alyssa Thompson, the No. 1 girls' soccer player in the nation from Harvard-Westlake, she signed with Stanford but is in Florida set to play for the USA national team on Thursday against Germany.
