<p>Some athletic recruiting has taken place already for the Class of 2016. NCAA rules have certain dates when athletes may sign a Letter of Intent, a binding commit to a college/university.</p>

<p>Since these young women have already been accepted to SC and will be in the class I thought it might be interesting to learn something about them.</p>
