Who Has the Best Incoming NCAA Distance Recruiting Class for Fall 22’?

No one is leaving an ND education to go to Tennessee! Maybe as a grad transfer but not undergrad.

Yes they are. And your premise is wrong from the get go. Somebody like Tuohy could have chose ND or Stanford but did not. Many smart runners chose with their feet rather than with their brains.

But he is 2 years older than a normal senior. 8:08 isn't impressive.

Teeples is the most likely to be the star of the group and I believe he is the one that has been mentioned as being around this fall and perhaps contributing. Jaster looked great Junior year but has been hurt or sick lately. Hopefully he can get healthy and look as promising as he did Junior year.

Since this is BYU, we are probably evaluating them for 4 years from now. 2 yr mission plus redshirt year (or underperforming year) after the mission before they are back to full strength.

For the nearer term, the “new guys” for BYU are more likely to be returned missionaries Carson Belnap and Grant Gardner. Maybe others I’m forgetting.

Trust me—none of the incoming ND recruits will be running for Tennessee next year. They didn’t choose ND because of Carlson (nothing against Carlson-he is a very good coach). Just like the Stanford recruits didn’t choose Stanford because of Santos (also a great coach).

Very true that many smart runners choose with their feet—but those that choose top 20 academic schools typically made their decision with academics and future alumni networking in mind first. Tennessee has neither.

Of course some of them did. Not every top academic school is loaded with talent. Trust me. Not all of those recruits will be at ND this fall.

Lots of kids also get private coaches + overtrain and burn out in high school to get into a top school like Duke, ND, Stanford, etc.

ND also has John Schuler in incoming Freshman class. He’s run 9:05/4:07/1:53

Coleman ran 4:06 1600 this year, Ackley 4:05, Singleton ran 4:03 indoor. This class is stacked.

"Who Has the Best Incoming NCAA Distance Recruiting Class for Fall 22’?"

My dear, the apostrophe goes in place of what's missing. In this case, the "20" from "2022" is missing, so the apostrophe goes in front of the "22" and not behind it: '22

Will any of those guys get at the level of Methner, Carmody and Kilrea next year?

Should. Carmody was only 9:18 in HS.

Carmody was not in ND’s top 7 his first year.

Will any incoming freshmen be able to keep up with Kilrea/Carmody/Methner this coming fall?
