Ah, National Signing Day. It's a day when dreams really do come true for a lot of hoopers out there, following years of blood, sweat, tears, and laughter on and off the court. With several top commitments already inked and more to come in the late signing period, let's take a look at some of Wednesday's best announcements from athletes and schools in our National Signing Day Superlatives.
Winner: Xavier University
Xavier took it to the max for its commitments in the early signing period. Check out these awesome animated videos, which show the NLIs coming in through a fax machine and introduce the Musketeers' newest members, including Missouri-native Jared Ridder.

Winner: Sukhmail Mathon (Boston University)
Sukhmail Mathon shared his own take on the mannequin challenge as he signed his letter of intent. This viral trend definitely keeps getting weirder, and something about the setting of signing day makes this video both memorable and hilarious.

Best Beauty Is In The Basics Announcement
Winner: Thomas Allen (N.C. State)
Often, beauty can be found in the basics. All you need is a place to sit, a functioning pen, and a family member with a camera phone. Forget the flash, snap a quick photo, put the ink to the paper, and off it goes… college ball, baby!
