The players had gone through a practice, a walk-thru and several hours of meetings and film sessions before tonight's team gathering in Heritage Auditorium, though you would've thought they were all fresh from a nap and a week's vacation.
For several minutes at the start of the meeting, the Trojans bounced around the room, chanting, dancing, singing and otherwise goofing off, prompting an amused Coach Carroll to ask his team, "today didn't tire you guys out?"
Players eventually settled down and proceeded into team and position group meetings that'll last a little bit longer. Bed check's at 11 p.m. and the first meetings on Sunday are scheduled for 8:15 a.m.
"This is hardball camp time," Carroll told the team tonight. "Everyone's grinding now."
