The Auburn review had a segment on the football film department. Five cameras during practice. All the film from games from the networks, all angles.
You want to see any opponent, any individual you will play against, all their games.
Coaches want to meet after practice to review things, they have all camera angles migrated and ready to queue within 15 minutes of the end of practice.
Quite impressive.
Id love to see something similar on how they organize recruiting...but I highly doubt that would be divulged. However, if that much detail is given to film, I can only imagine the recruiting dept and responsibilities.
Given Mike Rogers is an Auburn alum, perhaps the NSA could assist

I agree Trinidad…recruiting would be interesting.
All I can add, is when Officiating during the Spring scrimmages and color games, we would have to wade through the sea of recruiters in SW Florida. They all wear school colors.
Going on to the field, you get “ Watch 42 and tell me about his character on the field.” “Is 68 respectful and polite?”
Coming off was worse than going on. We spent more time answering questions about players than we spent officiating football. And in Florida we saw everyone….Notre Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin … all SEC teams .. everyone. Sometimes a hundred scouts.

I have often had the impression over the years that Auburn quietly does some very impressive things related to its sports programs compared to many other schools.

Bo is a pretty good dude. Worked with him when I was in school.

The eye in the sky does not lie. My high school coach would have people get on top of buses and film practice 20 years ago. Those are great memories.

I saw that segment and was laughing when I saw how they got their memory cards down to the staff.
Where the cameras were filming high above in the stadium, they would use a rope with the memory card placed inside a tennis ball with a slit in it to protect it, encased in a plastic bag attached to the rope that was then sliding down the rope to the guy inside putting the film on the memory card into his laptop....
That was funny, all this technology but using rope, tennis ball and plastic bag.

I was so hoping you were going to say one of the Eagles flew the memory card down.
