When we have a facility like this, which is equivalent to the laboratories we provide to our scientists, we are able to say to prospective student athletes 'You come to this place that has a commitment to doing the best. It is a place that cares about giving you a platform on which you can become the best possible talent that you can become.' This place is first class and will compete first class with anybody in the nation.
