The wait is over. The Countdown is behind us, and Signing Week has arrived!

This Wednesday, November 13, is Signing Day - the first day that high school seniors can formally commit to Division I or Division II tennis programs by signing their National Letter of Intent. TRN and CrampsAWAY have been counting down the days for the past month, but now we switch to our Signing Week coverage.

This week is all about the seniors and college tennis recruiting. We start the week with a pair of roundup articles - including today’s Blue Chip Roundup where we take one last peek at the top senior boys and girls. Once Wednesday arrives, we celebrate the opening of the Signing Period with commitment announcements and other special content.

Check out our coverage schedule - and then get up-to-date on the Blue Chip seniors:

Blue Chip Update

Boys Status

One more Blue Chip boy has made a verbal commitment, bringing the number of uncommitted senior boys down to 3. Alexander Kiefer of The Woodlands, Texas, has decided to commit to the Virginia Cavaliers.

Keifer, who has been ranked as high as No. 16 in the senior class, has posted strong wins both nationally and internationally. Kiefer won the bronze ball in the boys’ 16 singles event at Kalamazoo in 2018, and he followed that up with 10 combined singles wins this summer in the USTA Boys 18s National Team Championships (Chattanooga) and National Championships (Kalamazoo). More recently, Kiefer has been competing in ITF events, winning a championship in October at the Cancun Junior Cup in Mexico.

Girls Status

Status Quo

As you can see in the table, there are still 6 Blue Chip senior girls who remain uncommitted - the same as when we visited with them in October. We do expect most all of these girls to play college tennis.

We will keep an eye on things as more stories develop this week … but make sure to make TennisRecruiting.net your online home for all things Signing Week!
