Basketball Player Development Center Construction Photo Update
MGoBlue.com has posted a new gallery of photos showing the exterior construction of the Basketball Player Development Center.
This is the first time I've grasped that the building appears to be designed to look like a basketball entering a hoop. Pretty cool.
It's about time honestly!
I haven't walked by that since the Big Chill game. Is that flat area the roof or are they building another floor (story) to the structure?
...roof. The PDC has several levels below ground.
It should help in recruiting as well
FWIW, I sat next to Amir Williams (b-ball recruit from Detroit who chose OSU over UM) on an airplane recently and asked him point blank why he didn't choose UM and his main reason was because "the facilities were terrible compared to OSU's." He also said that he didn't think the coaching staff showed enough him enough attention (wahh wahhh). The latter statement will cause me to hate him for the next two or three years as he plays for the buckeyes.
That all being said, its pretty clear that this facility is going to help with the big time recruits when it is finished.

Can't really blame him. Crisler has been a dump for a long time. Once this practice facility is finished and Crisler is renovated I'm sure it will help.
