Jim Tressel is also a recruiter of Lebron.

Fans and organizers are having a rally to show appreciation for Lebron James' effect on the Akron community. It's also another way to say, please stay.

"Ohio State coach Jim Tressel will have a video message for James, who will be presented with the first annual Akron Hometown Hero Award to honor the dynamic and positive impact he has had on the Akron community."

Even Jim Tressel is getting into it.
