I think Gallon's dad took the video. He seems really pumped up about the experience. The other guys are Je'Ron Stokes and Brendan Gibbons. At the bottom of the page there are some related videos in which Rich Rod pumps up the boys and leads them down the tunnel. Good stuff.

I really liked Barwis selling his ability. I can see now how he is an asset to the whole recruiting experience. And I really loved when RR had the kids imagining they were going into the big house. He is starting to get it!

I don't know what I expected the recruiting experience to be like, but I had hoped it was what was on those tapes. That is at once wholesome and impressive without being overly cheesy. Wide-eyed players experiencing the campus and the coaches with thier families, soaking up the experience and the history. Good stuff.

I think it would be sweet if they play the fight song as the recruits are walking through the tunnel just to give them somewhat of a feel of what it is like on game day.

Simulate is the key word. What they don't want is a bunch of big budget schools to go crazy dazzling kids with a bunch of pyrotechnics and authentic jerseys with their name on the back doing the whole game day experience. If they are there for a game its fine for them to hang out.

I loved the part when RR was describing the Big House to the players and said something like "The stadium will be about half full by now, but that's still like 60,000." Well done RR, well done! I don't know why everyone gives this guy so much crap, he is a great coach and I am happy to have him. Just wait till we start winning a few games and the offense starts scoring some points, most everyone in the nation will be giving us a look...

can get the grades to come down the tunnel into the big house next year. Wish the clearing house didn't take so long to find out if they will qualify. Toussaint will be the man in two years if he is able to along with Gallon. Great find on the vids as well. GO BLUE!!!
