It’s a day when recruiting nuts take the morning off to watch Twitter and read message boards, when diehard football fans anxiously await the hat choice of 17-year-old kids, and it’s the one time per year where we dust off the fax machines to welcome the letters of intent of future All-Americans and team captains.…
