Facilities effects on recruits and players
For those of you that still think that nice facilities, nice things, and uniform combos don't matter, check out the reaction WSU players have to their new locker room.

That's awesome, good for them. Adidas is pretty prominent in the locker room and in the video. I wonder how much they contributed to that project. Probably plenty.

Ours will be nicer. It’ll be the best facility in the Big Sky Conference.

Until the next one is built.......only partial kidding.
With all of these being built and or planned. How does MSU’s compare? I think UC Davis has a higher price tag (just cause it’s California?), Weber I believe has more square footage than um. Where does MSU fit in and what makes it unique ie why a recruit would choose our building over the rest.
As a side note, will Weber be the first and only in door practice facility other than the dome teams?

Your initial line was spot on. MSU gets to look at those and easily one-up them.catgrad05 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 1:26 pmUntil the next one is built.......only partial kidding.

The hydrotherapy is a big plus. Workout areas and meeting rooms will be almost exclusively for football. The academic area is in the field house, so almost all the square footage is football-related.

Choate and company have done an exceptional job of bringing in VERY talented recruits..... just imagine what he will be able to bring in once we have these new facilities in place. Game changer.

Re: Facilities effects on recruits and players
Choate says that he believes that if he can get a kid (presumably a freshman) on campus he can guarantee they sign. It's a pretty bold claim but he has just about lived up to that. Getting the facility upgrades will not only help with getting freshmen to sign but getting them on campus in the first place. Not only that but the transfer students who are less starry eyed will also follow suit. The great (and at times awful) thing about recruiting is that it's a positive feedback loop, and this is a huge positive.mslacatfan wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 2:04 pmChoate and company have done an exceptional job of bringing in VERY talented recruits..... just imagine what he will be able to bring in once we have these new facilities in place.

I've heard he ends their visit at the new dining hall and says "this is where you get to eat". I guess it's amazing.

Re: Facilities effects on recruits and players
Are you referring to Miller? Because that's all a facade. Much like a trip to a North Korean supermarket, I hear they stock the forks before the recruits visit. Only time you'll ever be able to find a fork in that place.
(But for real there were never any forks when I went to MSU, but the facility was amazing!)

Glitzy & glam facilities is THE only reason the traditionally-mediocre Western MT CC became a powerhouse program in the 90s & 00s. In the modern materialistic age we live in, these shiny facilities matter.

If facilities matter, imagine Eastern Washington if they had a facility as nice as say....Helena High School.
