Tara Davis transfers from Georgia

How will she compete, unattached? I assume the ban is for both indoor and outdoor.

She will compete unattached at a couple of outdoor meets leading up to USATF championships. I believe she can actually compete under UT there.

Sorry I thought this was a discussion board. If I see inaccurate information about my daughter I will respond. No excuses pure facts.

You are more annoying than Lavar Ball. And also more full of crap than Lavar Ball.

Yes, that's normally how it is done interestingly enough. It will be her first time competing in a Texas uniform and they pay the travel also.

She won't even qualify

For one thing she's been jogging on an Alter-G, she's pretty much a distance runner now

Is there update on how she is doing at TU?

TU? Did she transfer to Temple?

Yes, it was her lifelong dream to go to Temple.

She will end up dreaming that she should have stayed put.

TU is what Aggies call Texas University at Austin. You know, the orange and white school with the fight song that sounds like hell.

Floreal leaves Kentucky and Kentucky's hurdlers improve like crazy without him:

went from 7.71 to 7.41

also Kentucky's hurdles crushed the Texas hurdlers this year. Flo is over-rated

Tara is overrated.

They have a pretty good woman hurdler from Jamacia. Did she bounce with Tonja or was she hurt? Floréal is not locked in to one event area. He will find the best athletes and build the team around whatever they do.

Track is the one sport that an athlete cannot be overrated. Stats don’t have opinions.

Glad to see this thread keeps having a life of its own. It’s truly not me keeping this alive.

yet, you had to add to it again?

I was supposed to let the overrated comment go? Nahhh can’t do that.

What I don’t understand is why anyone would think Texas is a good track program. When did they win their last national title?

gotta risk it to get the biscuit amigo

It is of course absurd to think that only the programs that have recently won the National Championship are good. It is also absurd to think that an athlete would only choose a program based upon its potential to win the team championship. A wise athlete chooses a program who has coaches who are able to get them to the next level.

Davis was wise not to go to Texas when Sategna was the head coach. Sategna lost his chance to get her by arbitrarily dismissing Kareem Streete-Thompson, who would have been an excellent coach for her.

Now that Floeal is the head coach, as well as the jumps coach, at Texas, Davis is in good hands, coaching wise. It is still possible, however, that she may not make that big of an improvement in college, simply because she was developed so well as a high school athlete. The same uninformed critics label her "overrated", criticize high school coaches who do a very good job of developing their athletes as "overcoaching" or "overdeveloping" their athletes.
