You better start getting ready for the 2018 recruiting cycle, because five-star recruits are already flying off the board.
The first five-star to commit post 2017 National Signing Day is Ricky Slade (5-foot-9, 195 pounds, Woodbridge, Va.), the nation's No. 1 all-purpose back according to 247Sports. On Friday, Slade made a splash by announcing his commitment to Penn State.
