No surprises on Signing Day for Rebels

UNLV will be releasing its 2009 football signing list in a few hours. There also is a big gathering at the Thomas & Mack Board Room tonight at 5:30 p.m. to hear Coach Mike Sanford go over his new players and also to watch video of the recruits.

The good news is my sources tell me that all 22 players who were expected to sign today came through. No last-minute defections.

Here’s the list:
