So if your only argument is that an upgrade in facilties will have a limited impact in recruiting then why are you arguing with those on the board who are saying that this is true but it can have an important limited effect in recruiting when other things are held equal as well as delivering very important benefits in other areas of the program? No, my whole argument is that the world is not coming to an end if we don't upgrade facilities to 29th century, state-of-the-art status. Its really inconsequential to our success. Some people act like we are a poor little helpless school who can't do anything. People need to get their inferiority complexes in check. This is rediculous, I was hoping we could resolve something, but clearly its not possible. I have said what I need to say about facilities - its short sighted to not acknowledge where we are right now with regard to investment in our athletic programs. We are already re-investing in other programs and I am confident that basketball will not be far behind.

All I am saying is the upgrade in facilities will not be a major reason why we will have successful basketball team.

To quickly add to this discussion, I think saying that Durant "clearly" decided based on facilities ignores the fact that he was recruited by other national powerhouses with great facilities. I haven't seen the weight rooms at UNC or UCONN, but I'm pretty sure they have more than medicine balls.
[EDIT: Just saw that MCI made the same point above. I'll let the Clutter Police decide what to do with my repetitive post.]
