And that's pretty much my point. Great facilities doesn't get you great recruits without a whole host of other things. IMO, facilities is not #1 in getting great recruits. At best it is #3 behind winning and relationships and maybe other things. BTW, I have said on numerous occasions that we need to upgrade things like the locker room and mdical items. I even gave some suggestions several months ago. So yes, we do need some upgrades and show a commitment to "keeping up with the Joneses". It's just that every time we lose and people point to talent, the first thing everyone wants to point to is facilities and it is almost like they are saying "put millions into facilities and we will be top 20". It's been said and used for about 10 years now under P and Marrone (never heard it said under GRob).

BTW, where will the millions come from that so many people want to put into facilities? A donor may provide seed money like Melo did for the Melo Center but the things that people want for football will take a lot more than the $19M the Melo Center cost. Has a fund been started? Will ticket prices and donations go up at a time people are trying to figure out to get more people in the Dome and suggesting cuts in those areas?
