Biggest sign ever by the Beasts (other than Symmonds)? I've got to admit I'm surprised they landed him. Here is the press release we got minutes ago.

Somebody on the Kerr said was saying this with such conviction, I believed it. Still, to see it out there as confirmed carries a little bit of surprise.
This is quite shocking, but one hell of a sign. Will he bring back the greatness at 1500 for the British?
Lets see how he stacks up against Kenyan's two headed monsters....
Wow. Brooks Beast is stepping up their game. This has to be their biggest signing so far. I bet signing Ribich really helped to attract Josh Kerr in the end.
Only race I've seen Kerr run was NCAAs and he didn't come across as being someone that would excel as a pro. What gives?

Well, gosh, you saw one whole race. Maybe if you'd seen more of his races,,,
ZERO Olympians. Lol

What I saw was an amateur effort. He gave up against collegians. That’s not pro and you don’t become a professional either simply because someone gave you a contract.
I never understand why good college runners change coaches when they go pro. Forget joining a team. Sign a good contract that lets you train with whoever you want. Maybe deep down Kerr knows he’s done and has no motivation to continue running so signing with the brooks beasts is ok to him?

1/10, and it's only that high because I'm answering.
Kerr has said he's going to stay in Albuquerque for the next 2 years to finish out his MBA and I would assume he will continue to train under Coach Franklin during that time.
MBA? He’s a junior and studying exercise science.

I got that directly off of his last instagram post so i don't know what to tell you.
That’s not what his IG said. Mackey will coach him. But the Beasts are in ABQ for their camps and Mackey is friends with Franklin, so they can work together.

Beasts = losers
Brooks = 2nd tier at best

Assuming the contract is one that gives you money, that's exactly what makes you a pro. But heck, you didn't like what you saw in that one whole race so naturally everyone else has the whole pro thing wrong.
has Hansons-Brooks "Distance Project" done any official announcements/press-releases or does it come only from Brooks Running?
they've picked up a few OTQ marathoners recently
wonder if they are planning on a big Atlanta presence

His IG did say he was staying in Albuquerque to finish his MBA so I'm not entirely sure what you're arguing. If you're referring to what I said about assuming Franklin will coach him, that was my personal thought so obviously it wouldn't be on his instagram.
I wish they would say how much money they signed them for.

Put me down for not liking TWO things. Don't forget mailing it in on the indoor dmed feigning some kind of injury or difficulty. That was extremely weak.
