The traditional National Signing Day is set for Wednesday, and there is still a frenetic pace being kept by college football coaches. Many signed complete classes in December during the early signing period, while others — especially the new coaches at new places on the heels of one of the most insane coaching carousels in recent memory — are hitting the transfer portal hard while trying to round out their inaugural classes in time for next week.
