To wear a long sleeve shirt and khakis in the summer is rough. Doing it in Alabama is damn near insane. Harbaugh is gonna need Gatorade with his cereal for sure!

Live audio/visual feed via Twitter Periscope. "MGMAdvertiser" (apparently a Montgomery, AL media source?) is streaming it.

No Erroll Thompson or J'Marick Woods there like expected since their coach pulled them out. http://247sports.com/Player/JMarick-Woods-83112 http://247sports.com/Player/Erroll-Thompson-76759

Maybe their coach is trying to stay good with the southern schools. Not a great move with Woods since Michigan is his biggest offer and doesn't have any big southern schools after him. Sounds pretty selfish on the coach's part there.

I was thinking the same. It's a shame but crootin' in the SEC works a little differently. Hopefully these two still make it up north sometime this summer.

Those links don't say anything about coaches pulling them out, where did you get that info?

I can't see how a coach can forbid one of his players from attending a camp if they really want to. It's up to the individual player and his parents. The "coach"
Should stay out of it.

This guy is a real trailblazer and trendsetter for college football and he hasn't even coached one game.

I live about 3 hrs from Prattville and had toyed with the idea of going but ultimately couldn't swing it. However - in the process I ended up talking multiple times with one of the women at the Autauga Foundation - which is the organization that sponsors the fundraiser that was part of the reason Coach Harbaugh ended up in Prattville. Anyway - some interesting points:

- she said that traditionally the head coach from Auburn and Alabama alternate appearing at the camp/banquet. This year was Nick Saban's turn, but he couldn't make it due to his schedule. So they had a hole - and the appearance by Coach Harbaugh sort of fell in their lap. This was ironic to me - the impetus behind the "satellite camp" was Nick's schedule.

- for logistics/planning reasons she ended up talking with Coach Harbaugh multiple times leading up to the camp. She thinks he is the greatest.

- she said that the HS coaches were blown away because they had ~ 400 kids there and the interest for a reception/banquet this evening where Coach Harbaugh is appearing has also helped greatly.

All good stuff - curious to see what othere see/hear.
