When Vanguard commits sign
Division II uses the Division I dates, so Vanguard recruits sign from November 11, 2026 in every sport except football. D2 rosters fill later, so a February or April signing at Vanguard is normal, not late.
The National Letter of Intent was retired in October 2024; athletes now sign the written offer of athletic aid on the same calendar. Post COMMITTED when you give your word, and SIGNED the day the paperwork clears. The full calendar is on the signing day dates page.
