Twins Men's and Women's Basketball programs had a signing day for the incoming freshman student-athletes this afternoon. An important transitional step from high school to college athletics, the soon-to-be college athletes excitedly signed their letters of intent in front of supporting family, friends, college representatives, and even their high school coaches, to show their commitment to Twins Athletics.
A letter of intent is a document that is signed with an NJCAA member college that formally signifies a student-athlete's commitment to participating in intercollegiate athletics. Once signed, the recruiting process becomes finalized and the student-athletes become official members of the newest incoming athletic class!
The women's basketball team has been dormant since the 2007-08 season and now C-GCC has signed six players for the 2016 recruiting class, with others committed that were unable to attend.
The men's basketball team has signed eight players, ready to move forward, looking to capture a spot in regional play this upcoming season.
