PISCATAWAY -- For the last year, Rutgers men's basketball coach Steve Pikiell used the same line on recruits interested in seeing the weight room that athletics director Pat Hobbs used on him during the hiring process.
"I'll show it to you next week," Pikiell said.
It was Rutgers' way of hiding an outdated eyesore that might make a negative impression.
Those days are over now.
Rutgers unveiled during an invitation-only ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday night the new Harriett and Bob Druskin Strength & Conditioning Center -- "worth a million wins," according to Pikiell -- at the Rutgers Athletics Center.
