Yessir! That’s why RoJo did it last year. There might be some limitations Im too lazy to look up, but it’s a free NBA readiness evaluation at the end of the day.

Assembly Hall:

Are they gonna move them? There's not much room to do a lot in there.

Perhaps there's an adjacent room and they can knock out a wall?

I suspect they will be knocking down walls. Football is using the old Hoosier Room and rehab facilities next to their locker room to expand it.

There are a lot of old offices/rooms in AH that are not really used anymore.

That's why they get all the 5 stars

Can’t recruit without a premier top of the jock strap storage facility.

Hard to read articles like that as we continue to flail with results. Biggest budget and resources yet middle results. Every reason in the world to expect top results and soon.

Yes, I know this is Archie’s first year and with Creans roster. But soon, we should be/need to be dominant.

And I'm confident they will.

Interesting to see the picture of Dayton's locker room. You can't help but wonder if the proposed overhaul was put on the table by Archie himself once he got here and saw the current state of the facilities.

We aren’t getting much of a return on our spending. And the facilities are not the best in the conference. 

For now that’s very true. Crean wasted money hand over fist.

Archie hasn’t had a chance for him and his staff to demonstrate their worth.

I thought the same thing when I posted that pic.

It isn’t falling apart, but this has needed to be addressed for a while. If you’re going to compete at an elite level, act like it.

Also, a lot of it is going to be redoing the restroom/showers, and carpeting and the ceiling…it’s just old.

You may have addressed this and I missed it but any timetable for completion of each the football and basketball locker rooms?

I would think the basketball locker room will be done by this upcoming season. It’s out for bid now and really shouldn’t take that long. The football locker room probably won’t be ready until the spring or summer of 2019. That’s because they’re completely tearing everything out of that and expanding it and starting over. They’re using the old Hoosier Room and rehab facilities next to the current locker room to create an entirely new layout and lounge. So they can’t start on that until those old facilities move into the south end zone this August. And at that point, the team will need a functioning locker room for the season that isn’t a hard hat area.

Yeah Fred gave Crean what he wanted. I don’t know that Crean necessarily spent that money wisely.

Here is what pretty much all of our locker rooms looked like in 2006-2007. Glass arrived in 2009, and mentioned that it was an early goal to renovate all 24 locker rooms in some way...

(Field hockey, track, wrestling, baseball, softball, and soccer are shown...field hockey, baseball, and softball were located in Assembly Hall, and they had to walk/ride to their old playing facilities at Mellencamp Pavilion and the old baseball and softball fields up the hill.)

[RBB89 3,497]

^^^ All of the above have been renovated. I believe every sport has a new locker room at this point. Swimming just got one. Tennis and golf did as well. Baseball, softball, field hockey, wrestling, and volleyball all have new stadiums/arenas and locker room facilities on site. ^^^

Again, basketball has received upgrades to their LR before, but there was so much else that needed to be done that a complete redo probably got pushed back. I imagine Archie asked for it as well. Here are the current baseball, softball, field hockey, and golf locker rooms, just as a comparison to what I posted above...

Thank the Good Lord the locker room revamp is happening.

(Mainly because I'm over the arguing on the subject)

I assume these are current of Dayton's locker rooms?  Not too shabby!

I’m not saying that you’re wrong but other than recruiting(knew he blew quite a bit there). Where else did he waste money? Just curious
