So much this. We don't have the pull that Alabama has. That was such a horrible rebuttal. We have to dazzle recruits and get them intrigued while they are visiting. We don't have a trophy case for them to be impressed by. In the P5, Oregon has took to dazzling recruits with any means necessary and it has worked out well for them. 

I think you got distracted by the pic and didn't read my adjoining post, especially the part where I said "Well, maybe not."  As long as you are judging my rebuttal, you might read and note that we aren't that far off from each other.  I did post earlier in the thread about pulling out the ceiling, changing the lighting, and painting the walls, ceiling, and ducts black.

I wasn't judging you or your post at all. I just didn't want people to read this thread and say to themselves, "well at least ours is almost kind of as good as Bama's." It promotes satisfaction of mediocrity by having other people even accidentally thinking that. We can't settle for this. High schools have better, seriously.

Agreed.   That pic I posted was from 3+ years ago.   I believe Alabama has remodeled their locker rooms since then.

Main argument here is that Nick Saban can slap down his championship rings to a 5 star recruit and that recruit will say "to hell with the locker rooms, I'm gonna get me one of these'

North Texas meanwhile is battling with Southern Miss for a 3 star guy and that recruit could say "well i like both schools, but Southern Miss knows whats up with that locker room" and boom, committed to USM.

How many recruits have sited locker rooms as the deciding factor in choosing a school?

Meh.   Give me this:

Well, maybe not.  I'd rather impress recruits with function over fashion.   You can make it look cool, but not distracting.  Don't give players dark corners to disappear into when the coach is trying to call them out. Maybe some of the Southern Miss pics were taken with accent lighting on but primary lights off.   Need to light that place up when coach is trying to light up players. 

Another view.

And some other schools you may be familiar with.

why don't we see what the final iteration of the locker rooms will look like before we burn down the building and demand that WB get fired......

Not the GMG way. You'll get used to it.

No 1 recruit commits somewhere for 1 reason. It's a cumulative effect. Locker rooms, relationships, stadium, staff, general recruiting momentum, academics, campus environment,  game day environment, etc. It all adds up. We can't just assume that locker rooms don't mean anything. It's safer to assume they matter, because truth is they do matter only if a little bit.

I agree, but USM's all black looks like something out of the 70's disco, black lacquered era.  Make them nice with all the amenities, but not tasteless garbage like some of these.

Agreed.  If you step in closer to the lockers themselves to take the Alabama, Texas, and OSU locker room pics above, they look pretty much just like the pick of the UNT locker room.   We need to see more views of what's been/being done.

Yeah, but remember, it isn't about what you or I like.  It is about what some 17 year old likes.

It looks more like a strip club. That's all the rage right now. IMO, these locker room trends all look like strip clubs. Worse, they'll be outdated in 5 years.

This has RV's fingerprints all over it, just like hiring coaches, we'll have to do this locker room over again a lot sooner than others because we didn't do it right the first time.

For crying out loud, what is it with UNT and that carpet?  They have the same crap all over Discovery Park and it sounds like they massively overpaid for it.  Which Board member sells it?

MTSU locker rooms.  This is who we are competing against right now for recruits.  Lets win big, and then update our locker room with the influx of money

http://www.goblueraiders.com/galleries/?gallery=804

 

Just bc MUTS' locker room is subpar doesn't mean ours need to be. And for.the record, conference foe or not, we aren't really competing with each other for recruits. We rarely cross paths on the recruiting trail actually. We are competing with smug, Tx st, nutsack, utep, Tulane, Tulsa etc. for recruits. Post their locker rooms.

Bingo. He may or may not be a relatively big donor I believe.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
