Disadvantage of Tower Hall
« on: September 16, 2014, 09:59:34 AM »
Somebody has told me that the Freshman and Sophomore hoops players reside in Tower Hall?

How are we going to win recruiting battles if Tower Hall is where they live?  I LIVED IN TOWER

Did this post get stuck in the inter-tubes from about 18 months ago?  This was discussed repeatedly back then.

(Regardless, I had heard that underclassmen were now in McCabe Hall...not Tower.)

They not in Tower this year. Some are in McCabe while freshman are in Mashuda. Pretty sure they let them pick where they want to live cause Taylor was at Straz last year.

Was joking about my response.  Old, old news.

But yeah, really big disadvantage in the recruiting world.  We will never get into the final 3 of a top 5 recruit in the nation, or sign another top 100 player again.  SLU, here we come!

I should have quoted Kenosha since I was responding to him.  I figured you were joking.

Straz would actually make the most sense. Its the nicest dorm, with in-unit bathrooms and A/C, still relatively close to the Al, and pretty quiet since its an honors dorm, so they'd be less likely to get into trouble.

Rec plex and the cafeteria (which was the best on campus when I was there) obviously don't come into play, since athletes have separate facilities, but still the nicest dorm I think.

BTW, is there still a barbershop in Straz? I always thought that was a nice little feature to have on campus.

Two years in Carpenter Tower.   I loved that place.

People should read this and realize that they shouldn't respond to the troll anymore.

We just won't tell them that you ever lived there.  Problem solved.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

One of the sillier battles picked by Pilarz and Larry.  But perhaps their greatest victory.  ;)

I have a good friend who was a reasonably highly recruited scholarship player for MU WBB.  She thinks this is a great thing.  Now she says that with the perspective of 10+ years out of college but she felt the all Humpty Dump suite experience stifled the MU experience. 

I get it, she's not 18 and she's not a guy but she did live it.

McCabe and Mashuda are closer to Humphrey though...where the other players are.

I'm not sure if you are making a funny, but the Y, East Hall and Straz are all the same thing.

Thanks. It was East Hall when I was there. I seem to remember it was pretty outdated and I thought the school was selling it. Did they renovate?

Lived in CT, I enjoyed the quiet... and at the end of the hall allowed quiet drinking w/o RA interruption. Wouldn't be so bad for players it's a short walk to Johnston hall.

Plus the Bean was a great dining hall for atmosphere.
