By no means am I saying ours is terrible, because it’s much better than what it is was that’s for sure.

I actually think it’s more a poor picture of the inside and is showing a “meeting” area of the locker room

would like to see what’s on the other side of that one wall and how the actual “locker” area compares

I mean that’s perfectly fine but anything with standard folding chairs as the centerpiece isn’t exactly going to stand out or be a competitive advantage these days facilities-wise. If I was the architect or design firm, I wouldn’t be puffing my chest.

Maybe if some of our donors alumni Boosters etc would dig a little deeper in their pockets.

Lots of Locker Room talk here but if we have a monster class in 22 as it's shaping up to be- isn't that the point - it's a recruiting tool? And if we can land a big-time class and our locker rooms are not anything like Indiana...

Meanwhile Indiana, the team with 6 coaches in 20 years who has been relevant 5 or 6 yrs out of that 20...

I think it's fair to say these things play a role, but let's not over value them either. Not picking as the point was just some examples but GT and Indiana don't have the recruiting or results to make the case..

I will add that I am glad we upgraded as it was overdue. If the money came in and we can emulate something like IU- that is great too. Just don't see it as being at the top of the list. If anything, keeping the Melo center at the top of it's game with improvements as needed would be a much bigger priority in my view.

I totally understand what Pitts mantra means but for certain accents ... It's very appropriate lol.

The not as nice locker room sits in an arena that seats 33K. Which...is nice.

A now much improved with A/C arena that seats 33k too.

Yeah, it's almost like an away game how in and out of the Dome they are.

 

[JoeSU]

Yeah I was going to say the same. Aside from using it on game days, I assume they aren't in there much.

To me, they resemble the padded court-side chairs used at the dome, which provides some sense of consistency on game days when the locker room is in use. It's not like they're beat-up, bare metal folding chairs that look like they came out of a church hall.

Duke uses folding chairs too!

Wonder if the lure of Cameron fades with K’s exit

The lack of creativity and big thinking in the Cuse athletic department when it comes to amenities, bells and whistles, the approach to social media, etc. is really depressing at times. All these schools have personalized lockers for the players. We have some cabinets they bought at IKEA.

how about you dig a little.

 

[Trueblue25]

There are more pressing matters to invest in for the program.

While im not in awe impressed, it is an improvement and not a detriment to our recruiting. Like others mentioned this is not the locker room where players spend most of their time. It just makes for interesting conversation comparing it to other programs with current HS players wishes and needs in mind

Its not a film room. This is pre-game and half time to see things on the board.

Also keep in mind that we outfit two places. The locker room in the carrier dome and the melo center. All the amenities are in the melo center and would blow you away. The dome locker room is only for pre game and halftime talks and getting dressed. I’m not sure what other teams have but if they only have one facility that serves both purposes then it’s not apples to apples comparing the dome locker room to a glitzy facility.

Wow only apples and bananas for the fruit selection? Talk about cliche.

 

[JRHEETER]

eeeehhh these are just the “game locker rooms” for these schools.

The actual lounges that they have are absolutely next level and on par with what we have at The Melo center

Are you saying that we're comparing apples and bananas?

 

[JRHEETER]

for example, this is Pitts completely redone Peterson Events center….

the difference is we have the melo center separated from the dome.

they have the lounger in the events center but they also have the locker room for games that I showed previously

The Indiana locker room you posted is the locker room where they practice and play in Assembly Hall. It just so happens our main arena is not our practice facility.

Yeah I didn’t post the Indiana one on purpose because all I could find was the practice locker room, which would be comparing it to what we have at the Melo Center
