The plan is to have the facilities ready for the 2018 season.

I don't have a problem with upgrading facilities, but this...

 

The new weight room is going to make our OL guys bigger stronger

...sounds a lot like what we were saying when Barwis came in and ordered a bunch of new equipment. Whatever actual physical gains we make from this are likely marginal; the greater benefit probably is in impressing recruits.

Sounds amazing, and something the program has badly needed for a long time. Question, where is all this going? With Oosterbaan right there are they building up, down, or around?
