This program needs better players.

Better ingredients, better football.

Who do you think is recruiting these kids?

I mean, we could buy them new cars or pay the parents large sums of money I guess.

ODU had one bad recruiting year in 2015. We lost some valuable commits who changed their minds at the last minute. Wilder had to replace those losses with low level talent. ODU is currently 5th in CUSA recruiting per 24/7 sports.

Unless we upgrade our facilities, we become vulnerable to other programs who can flip our recruits by touting their facilities.

An FBS quality stadium, player lounge or indoor facility would be nice. It's hard to close the deal without them.

There are a lot of factors that go into the decision making process. Former FSU QB and crab leg lover, Jameis Winston chose the Seminoles because he thought the cheerleaders where hot.

Nagy isn't going anywhere.

Good luck.

Not arguing against upgrading facilities, but an indoor practice facility hardly seems necessary as we don't have the extreme heat as some of our conferencemates in FL and TX. If such a facility were deemed necessary I don't know where on campus it could fit, or how we would go about paying for it while funding a new stadium.
