Signing day question

CorinthEagle · January 25, 2006

If this has been covered before and I missed it please excuse me. Last year on signing day there was a "meeting" fans could attend at the athletic center where the coaches talked about the new recruits and showed video of them. Does anyone know if that is going to be repeated this year?

I don't think that was on signing day...I think it was later on during Spring Practice. The public was invited to the signing day press conference though.

They did both things. Last year the fans were not allowed to attend Coach Dickey's press conference to talk about the new recruits. NCAA regulations were stated as the reason for that. Rick V then scheduled a preview tour of the new athletic facility as the press conference was going on. Following that Coach Dickey stayed and did the same type presentation for fans. I thought it worked out great.

Later in the Spring the coaching staff showed vidio and talked about each of the recruits following a Saturday scrimmage. That was a good deal, too.

If they have the signing day activity again this year I will be unable to attend. Our curriculum director apparently does not know it is National Signing Day and has scheduled a meeting that I just cannot avoid. What a jerk.....
