How was the Signing Day event?

You had to be at a certain RCAF donation level or QB club member to be invited. However there was no sign in process. Anyone could have walked in. The videos were shown in the auditorium of the APC. Comfortable for attendees.

Mostly trying to figure out if the admin thought the way we ran the bash under Hud was not a success. Or too much cost for the ROI. I went to two of them and thought they were top notch, great for celebrating the recruits and a nice way for fans to get involved. Looked good in the media, especially nationally. Good recruiting tool for RCAF as well.

This was an RCAF event for members that give at the $3000 level and above. That's what I was told. Nothing that was shared at this event would not be covered on the Athletic site. The media had their own press conference early in the day.

Note, the video of LB Emiliano Soldevilla from the Houston area is the one that stood out to me. Quick first step, runs with purpose to ball carrier, and tackles fundamentally well. I will let other attendees mention which video made an impression on them.

It was a well organized show with several signees doing cameos about their decision to join the cULture. Position coaches took turns talking about their respective signees and Des closed the meeting. Drinks were flowing and the crowd was decent IMO.

…..Thought it to be a really good function……Legend’s bar service….so many support staff present…..visiting with coaches……great videos of recruits and comments by their future coaches meeting depth requirements……wish we could have had a Q and A session but it was getting on in the night!……Anybody pick up on any recruits we lost to other schools?

Makes me wonder what is the point. RCAF trying to pass this off as some great access only to donors, but info becomes available to masses anyway. All this does is alienate future/current fans.

I don’t believe you’re right. I always thought that social was more about developing relationships than giving money. But then that’s just how I felt.

It started under Napier, but when you are running a $5M plus budget deficit I didn't expect it would be a large event. But let's be honest here, considering the number of people that believe the HC should have never been hired, this wasn't going to be a well attended event. JMO
