You thought Signing Day marked the end of our college commitment coverage?

Wrong. That was just the appetizer. Today we take a look at a few programs with quality acquisitions as well as some fresh 2012 commitments.

Starting with the women, there’s a team in the Big 12 that’s had quite the offseason:

Oklahoma State
