With Wednesday (November 9th) being the start of the signing period for the frosh class of 2023/24 for all Olympic Sports, thought I'd start this thread. As with prior years' threads where I did this, It will be used throughout the signing period to post any news (tweets, articles, pictures, videos, etc.) of future Olympic Sport Buffs officially signing their National Letters of Intents (NLI's).
Want to note, that unlike football and basketball that probably more Allbuffians are aware of, ALL other NCAA Division 1 (and Division 2) sports just have one long signing period (no "early" and "regular" signing periods like football and basketball). For the 2023 frosh class, that "other" sports signing period is 11/9/2022 - 8/1/2023.
As always, if/ as any Allbuffians see any official signing news for any future Buffs, please feel free to post it.
The main purpose of this thread is NOT to post news of newly found future Buffs, which is already covered in the http://www.allbuffs.com/threads/recruiting-news-olympic-sports.101643/ thread. However, If any new (unknown to us) commits do pop up during the signing process, I'll probably post them both places (with more detail on them being put in the main recruiting thread).
Note- With the option of an additional eligibility year granted to those athletes who, along with their schools, want them, it will be interesting (at least to me) to see how much if any the freshmen classes are smaller over the next year or two.

For ease of reference, from the main recruiting thread (post numbers listed are to posts in that thread), expected signers for next academic year (2023/24) we know about so far that could be signing as early as November 11th have in prior years been listed below by sport, but I've fallen behind this year, so will try to catch up over the next day or two and add info by sport as fast as I can. As I think about it, I’ll also fill in info below as we learn about what student-athletes have officially signed on to become future Buffs.
(Note- with these sports getting much less recruiting exposure than, say, football, it's much more likely that some listed below may end up going to another college.)

(Note- it seems team sport athletes usually verbally commit AND often sign their NLI’s much earlier than those in the “individual” sports (golf, tennis, track & field/ cross country and, especially, skiing), so expect more future Buff individual sport athletes to become known and sign as the signing period goes on.)
