NORMAN — In recent years, whenever Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops and his staff have had recruits on campus, they would spend ample time showing off the school's top-notch, multimillion-dollar academic and athletic facilities.

And, well, they sort of pointed toward where the players would live. Kept moving. Nothing to see there. Next.

“We'd tell them, ‘Oh, you're not here much, anyway,'” Stoops said, joking about the current residence halls that house athletes.

The construction site at the southeast corner of Jenkins and Lindsey streets, though, is effecting change to that portion of the campus recruiting tour.
