What is the building being constructed right behind the Student Recreation center? It is very large, looks like a dorm - anyone know? I saw the two new dorm shells (honors and the other one) are completely up and make the area look completely different now. Just need brick and interior buildout now.

The building under construction just to the north of the rec center is another residence hall.

It will replace College Inn.

cause we already have a housing shortage as is, and dumping college inn would not be smart unless we're constructing more dorms, which I have yet to see (besides Honors and Legends).

Are you serious? Since I have been there they have constructed at least 5 new dorms. The college inn is a dump and should be demolished.

Who cares?? It's college, we aren't suppose to live in a 5-star hotel. Housing is housing and we need all we can get. At least it's near the back of campus and not very visible.

its not going to replace college inn.... that wouldnt be smart. Its Legends Hall, a new upperclassmen dorm

College Inn is suppose to be an upperclassmen dorm as well ... coincidence?

In the grand scheme of things, College Inn's years are numbered; sinking foundation and all.

use the tcu stated model and build plenty of dorm space and try to build it all, including parking garages, as much in the CENTRAL CAMPUS as possible. We've got to build this place as a CAMPUS to get as much of the college experience as possible. This will help us build better college memories & college pride.

College Inn will be gone soon enough but right now it is a cash cow b/c it is already paid off. I believe Maple is also very close to being paid off. Besides for more dorm space if D..Rick Perry has his way McConnell will be able to house students next year.

The last time I looked through the UNT Masterplan, the new dorm would be built next to College Inn. Once complete, College Inn would be demolished and either the other half of the new dorm built or parking put in it's spot.

Oh yeah, my bad..I forgot they were putting another dorm behind the Rec Center. Why would replacing College Inn be a bad idea? That place is a DUMP!!!

I have many memories from college inn. As do many others, and I think it will be a sad day when that place is torn down. I always loved bringing friends and family to campus to show them all the dorms, and then bring them to "the college in."

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
