I think one of Jl's dis-advantages these past 8 years has been the basketball facilities. That should change now into a positive for better recruits. I've read good recruits such as Shumpert, Richardson, Witherspoon to name a few who has had an interest in BU but JL was not able to close on them. Was part of their decision based on facilities ? I don't know. I recall one guard recruit ( I can't think of this name ), went to W.Kent. instead and is now in the NBA, saying he didn't care for BU's basketball facilities as one reason he did not come here. I, along with most on this board, believe next season should be special with the core players returning but if next season doesn't reach our expectation's ( MVC Conf. title or at least compete for the league title ) and a NCAA/NIT bid, all will not be lost for the future of BU basketball. JL should be able to gain more interest from better players with these facilities and as we all know, a coach is only as good as his players.
