Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1560952, member: 716"] It's worth adding -- while people gripe about the idea that Scott Shafer or a new coach could be put through the indignity of playing 12 road games during a Dome construction season -- that fully half the kids on this cross country team were successfully recruited by a program with no outdoor track. Not a competition facility, but a track of any kind. And every guy on the team committed to come here despite a lack of an indoor track (an excellent negative recruiting tool for ACC coaches). Consecutive appearances at nationals and a championship make recruiting a little easier, of course, but it's worth noting the difficult job these coaches have done in building a program from nothing with no facilities (again, not inadequate facilities, but no facilities). Hopefully Coyle rectifies the indoor track situation soon. [/QUOTE]
