The new dorm for KU basketball players takes the facilities arms race to an entirely new level. Per the Lawrence Journal World:
The $11.2 million, three-story facility was built with private money, and KU Student Housing runs and staffs it.
‘Words can’t describe’
KU envisions the new facility as both a good home for its basketball players but also a draw for new recruits.
"We have the best venue (Allen Fieldhouse), and we will have the best housing,” Coach Self said in a KU Athletics press release prior to McCarthy’s construction. "These things are very, very significant for the benefit, development and overall experience of our student-athletes. We want them to be comfortable and have the same type of living conditions as the programs we're recruiting against."
Perry Ellis, a senior forward from Wichita, said he always thought Jayhawker Towers were great.
McCarthy is something else.
“Words can’t describe it,” Ellis said. “I think it definitely will help persuade kids. It’s just so nice.”
