I got a new digital look at the EZ facility without seating. It’s big. Three stories tall. At least as tall as the east grand stand. It will be very prominent.
Can you post it? I’d love to see more detail.

There are some additional rendering on the A&E website of the master plan. http://www.ae.design/msu-athletics-master-plan/

Maybe the thing is we've seen so many spectacular multi-phase "master plans" posted here dating back to the Fields era with all the "quiet" periods and short-falls and extensions, and rumors we've settled into our own quiet period.

Tootell and Nuanez were opining that the Griz are winning the in-state recruiting battle, partly because they have the Champions Center....makes it even more imperative that we start seeing progress soon!

Well, I agree that the facilities are important and the Cats need to get moving on the plan soon. However, Rostad grew up a Griz fan and lives 40 miles away from Missoula. Deck is also a lifelong Griz fan and has many connections on the team. Lee currently resides in Missoula. I think their commitments are more about being part of that fan base than anything else.

What a crazy way to chose a school. Even though said school is imploding I will pick them because they have cool buildings... #-o #-o #-o

I complete agree. But yes, that DEFINITELY has a huge impact on these kids making their decision on where they commit to.

Like choate is always saying- if we could get our facilities on par with UM... we would DESTROY them in the recruiting department. As right now that is the only edge they have over MSU. When comparing what the schools offer academically, it is laughable.

Didn't they have the Champion's Center last year, and didn't we kick their asses on the best in state recruits last year?

Not sure if that was a question directed at me?

But, who won last years in state recruiting battle? Pretty debatable, but I would definitely NOT say that we “kicked there asses”

When comparing facilities. I don’t think that is even a debate? Unfortunately UM is the winner in that category, no question (choate will be the first one to tell you that). BUT, we have a plan in place to close that gap. Just need to make it happen!

Wasn't directed at anyone in particular, just in general. I do think the Champions Center might be the one thing that pulls a kid there when it's super close, but it's not like that one element is going to mean UM gets 90 or even 75 of the best in state recruits every year. They look at the entire package. That said, I totally agree once MSU fulfills the facililties vision, we will blow UM away.

The Champions Center does give UM a big edge for players that don’t have a strong allegiance either way. In-state I gotta believe there aren’t many of them. I mean most kids pick between UM and MSU by first grade. Of the four in-state to commit two, Rostad and Yates, had their minds made up. I have to think Lee was leaning UM since he not only moved to Missoula, but went to a school with an ex-Griz coaching there. The guy from Kalispell I have no idea, so the score is Griz 1, Cats 0 for guys in play.
