Hmmm.... not sure I understand this post. We are talking basketball here...? Besides the mental impact on recruits, there is the scheduling/availability issue. Having dedicated facilities makes it much easier to schedule/drop in without having to worry about other teams or support staff. For guys who want to spend hours just working on their shot/dribble/whatever it makes a difference. I assume the weight room, napping cubes, food, etc. won't be duplicated, but I don't claim to actually know what is being discussed/planned...
I probably need to slow down before writing a post. - Man, I've been there! I vaguely recall the football team took over another facility (women's soccer?) for practice anyway in addition to the stadium ... which also shows a lack of room for all the sports (see below)... and cue something related to field hockey and Title IX. I used to live in Unit 2 dorms, and I remember Underhill as being this solid concrete death trap with a nasty slant... and now there's competitive sports on it...? I played intramural B level soccer there and thought it was cool that something was available but feared for my health every game.
