Practice Facility

[HaydensDad]

No one wanted to play for Lick, if he had the facility we might have gotten a couple better players but that would be it.

Didn't Butler just barely lose the NCAA tourney title game by 2 pnts with mostly Lick's recruits????

Are you saying SA could recruit? If so your wrong. Most of his recruits didn't have the grades to make into Iowa, that is a big reason why he went down south where it's easier to get the athletes into school.

Wrong. SA brought in many top 125 prospects:

Reiner,Worley,Recker,Evans(Juco top ten),Pierce,Sommerville,Brunner,Horner,Haluska,Alex Thompson,Tyler Smith,Tony Freeman, Jarryd Cole

Most of these guys were top 100,actually, and all did enroll and were eligible to play.
His recruiting was decent,but clearly player retention was not great and his coaching was average.

And yes, the new facility looks very cool,and should be a huge boost for Fran.

I predict we will have a practice facility.

I've heard the practice floor comes complete with a comemorative Matt Bullard spot on center court.
