  • Shocker Hall Gives WSU a Recruiting Advantage

    Be sure to read the entire story. Here are a few excerpts.

    It was much-needed, for a long time,” women’s basketball coach Jody Adams said. “It’s amazing. Cutting edge. The high ceilings and how you feel when you walk in — you feel like you’re in a hotel.”

    “It really feels like you’re living in almost a five-star hotel,” said baseball player Gunnar Trout wine, from Fairway. “The food there is great. The rooms are awesome. The beds are comfortable."

    “It was great to know we were going to be the first ones into these dorms,” he said. “The location is prime, being able to get anywhere on campus with 10 or 15 minutes. At some of the bigger universities, you’re stuck with dorms on the outside of campus and taking forever to get to campus.” [Josh DeBacker - Baseball]

    “It gives us that big-school feel,” WSU softball assistant coach Samantha Sheeley said. “I think it’s really going to help a lot of our recruits who want to be at a big school, but also want to be close at home or have a small-town feel at the same time, those factors really play in to what we’re going to sell.”

    There are five room styles in Shocker Hall, all with Wi-Fi connections, cable boxes in each bedroom and laundry rooms and kitchens on each floor. The 400-seat dining hall offers pizza, a deli station, Mexican, Oriental, a salad bar and more. The Groundhouse offers Starbucks and stays open until 2 a.m.

      Don't tell Bardo. The man doesn't know how to quit. He will do it.

      I hope he names it Carl Hall

          Or, so as not to overlook the outstanding baseball player, Carl Carl Hall Hall.

                There is no shortage of wit on this very fine forum.

                  That's good. Otherwise, it would be witless.

                    May not be allowed. I think that causes global warming.

                        Good. Shocker Hall really added no new capacity because of the closing of WheatShocker Apartments and Brennan Hall and the reduction of capacity at Fairmount Towers. Even without the innovation Campus I bet we could fill up a second Shocker Hall right now.

                          I don't know how much of a recruiting advantage Shocker Hall gives us but it removes a big recruiting disadvantage that has been a problem for a long-time now. It would be nice to get to a point where all of the athletes could live on campus and not just the freshmen.

                          Some coaches didn’t bother to show recruits the dorms in previous years.

                          My guess is if the truth be told that would be most of the coaches didn't bother to show recruits the dorms previously.
