James Wilder Jr., Anthony Chickillo lead class of 2011

TAMPA - We shouldn't have much drama Wednesday on National Signing Day.

Plant's James Wilder Jr. and Alonzo's Anthony Chickillo lead the Tampa Bay area prep contingent.  Wilder is headed to Florida State, Chickillo to Miami.

The only player in Hillsborough County were waiting on to make his choice is Armwood Quarterback Josh Grady.

Evidentally, Grady has made his mind up and will announce his decision tomorrow morning.

USF Head Coach Skip Holtz will speak at 4pm about his recruiting class.  He should have a few Tampa Bay area players on the list.

We're all awaiting to see how the Gators fare.  It's been a hard sell for new Head Coach Will Muschamp. 

Of course, FSU has one of the highest rated recruiting classes.  Jimbo Fisher could be setting his team up for long term success.

With football being the predominant sport to cover on National Signing Day, there isn't a school that can boast this fact.

The Clearwater Chargers Soccer Club will send off 20 girls and boys soccer players to college.

That's nearly 50 players that have signed to various schools, colleges, and universities in the past two years.

The club provided me a list of those moving on to college.  I'd thought I'd pass the list along:

Here it is:
