For the fourth consecutive year, the day will culminate with “The Wrap Up Show presented by Coke Zero” airing live at 5:30 p.m. The show will be hosted by the Lafayette Sports Network’s (LSN) Gary Laubach and feature head coach Frank Tavani, who will take Leopard fans start to finish through the Class of 2017 commitments. Also scheduled to join is Susan Averett, Dana Professor of Economics and football faculty mentor, discussing the academic credentials of the incoming class and her role in the recruiting process.
Tavani will be back once again to field questions from all Leopard fans, as GoLeopards.com will host a chat with the head coach from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Followers of @GoLeopards on Twitter are encouraged to use the hashtag #AskCoachT to submit their questions.
In addition, live hourly updates beginning at noon will highlight the behind-the-scenes happenings inside Bourger Varsity Football House. Laubach’s guests will include Director of Athletics Bruce McCutcheon, Director of Admissions Matthew Hyde, offensive coordinator Mickey Fein, defensive coordinator John Loose, and LSN-TV analyst Mike Joseph ’88 for a first look at highlight films for each new Leopard.
Season ticket holders, members of Lafayette Friends of Football, and members of the media are welcome to join Tavani and his staff at Bourger Varsity Football House, located inside Fisher Stadium. Guests will be able to watch the show live with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres, a chance to win merchandise, and the opportunity to ask questions during the final segment of “The Wrap-Up Show”.
