I'm just going to put this in my personal column titled "things they do in recruiting" and leave it at that.
But. Seriously?
O. K.
The anticipation is over, and Alabama didnāt create a new āBeat Auburnā sign in its locker room. Instead, the Tide are installing a real waterfall.
Recent five-star quarterback commit David Cornwell sent shockwaves through the media when he tweeted that a waterfall in Bamaās locker room is about to be legit.
Alabama sports information director Jeff Purinton says itās true.
Now, itās not like weāre talking about a lazy river fit with inner tubes and waterfalls for the ladies, but the waterfall is small and itās real. Purinton told AL.com that āit will be coming from a system that can flow from a few feet above the hot and cold tubsā, which are located in the new shower area on the first floor.
The waterfall is part of Alabamaās $9 million project to renovate and upgrade the Tideās ongoing āprocessā, which includes new graphics, lockers, meeting rooms and one theater-style meeting room.
Thatās what two championships in a row will get you ā a waterfall. I wonder what happens if the Tide pull off a three-peat?
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Just two days after he committed to Alabama, five-star quarterback David Cornwell made waves when he revealed a new quirk about the Crimson Tide's every-day locker rooms.
A waterfall, you say? We asked Alabama sports information director Jeff Purinton to clarify what Alabama's top-ranked recruit meant with his Tweet -- which, of course, went viral.
There will be falling water in Alabama's upgraded locker rooms inside the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility, Purinton said. It will be coming from a system that can flow from a few feet above the hot and cold tubs, which are located near the showers on the new area's first floor.
These are the finishing touches on Alabama's $9 million project to renovate and update the epicenter of its football factory. The bulk of which went toward the team's new strength and conditioning center, which connects the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility to the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility.
Along with the "waterfall," Alabama's players will come back to new lockers, graphics, position meeting rooms and a theater-style meeting room -- located where the Crimson Tide previously pumped iron -- when they kick off camp in August.
In an interview with BamaMag.com, four-star defensive tackle Josh Frazier said the lockers would be equipped with jacks for the players' iPhones.
"When people come to Alabama, they expect to see the best," Alabama coach Nick Saban said during an interview last year. "We should always strive to have the best. As long as we have the resources and we can provide the best for our student-athletes, that's what we should do in all sports."
