"4 x 52 inch plasmas and an 82 inch in lockerroom, beautiful pictures by our meeting rooms, historical graphics, nutrition center for all!!"I guess plasma TV's (and pictures?) could entice recruits, but it doesn't seem like the best use of funds. I leave it to you Bullspenners... was the money put to good use and if not, where should it have gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, recruiting is the lifeblood of any program. So if the creature comforts match or exceed our competitors and help with recruiting, what's wrong with that?We're lucky that our players are loyal to the program. Can't wait for Ant to land in the USF HOF.Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Posted June 18, 2009 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 1,524 Reputation: 9 Days Won: 1 Joined: 02/20/2008 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I think it was a good use of funds. Improving the locker room and weight room is a huge need. Have you seen the locker rooms of other schools? Oregon has a video of their locker room, and it is ridiculous (and yes, I know Phil Knight is pretty much running the program). Having a great facility where the players hang out in their free time is a huge recruiting tool. I can tell you this, after seeing the video of the walk thru of Landshark Stadium and what scUM has for a locker room, these upgrades to ours will give us 1+ over the Canes. Just an example, not saying we will start out-recruiting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they added some PS3s and Wii systems as well! Better to have them gaming it up on their free time than out drinking, fighting or smoking weed!
