What are some of the worst perpetrators of being a better recruiter then coach in america? which teams are just stacked with non americans because the coaches cant convince locals to go to school there? My known examples, are UTEP, Iona, Eastern Kentucky and Alaska Anchorage, but im sure there are many more.
Can not and wont comment on the coaching, but Southern Utah and Okalahoma state have always relied on foreigners for their backbone.
Because you mentioned Alaska Anchorage, i would like to say that Adams state and St Augustines are by far way worse and recruit many non americans
Any school that recruits Kenyans
Yes, Oklahoma state springs to mind. Dave Smith and his European/African crew.
Rather tough to convince an american athlete to come to your college when the school is in Alaska.
providence, villanova
I would say that Oregon is bad simply because they always get their choice of the absolute best Americans but still often have foreigners. They do all this and still have not won XC NCAA in probably close to a decade.

So you're looking for people who were good recruiters, and then good coaches? Not sure what you're asking.
you said they were good recruiters that couldn't convince local kids to go there. doesn't sound like you have thought this through.
ummmm you're kidding right? Southern Utah has only had 9 foreigners on their mens and womens team in their ENTIRE history. Do some homework... Tulsa has more foreigners than that on their team RIGHT now!!!
Looking at you, Conference USA
Western State as well use to be a big offender. They would cut American kids scholarships to make way for the Kenyans and Europeans.
Adams specialty is foreigners, especially those with an existing elite or pro career

as a current conference USA athlete I can attest to that, UTEP and Middle Tennessee have all their athletes from kenya and such, I think LA Techs top guy was African as was Charlotte's top girl
Kansas State had 18 foreigners on their 2016 roster.
Florida State has 22.
Egregious.
Good lord. Another crybaby

Makes sense to me
Just keep looking at me foreign ars during NCAA races you loser.
I'm on a full scholarship also which helps.
What does recruiting foreigners have to do with the coach's ability to coach?
