Princeton's 2011 recruiting class is shaping up to be a great one. From what i have heard:

Mike Mazzacaro (NJ) 15:20 at Holmdel

Matt McDonald (NJ) Foot Locker finalist

Eddie Owens (NY) Foot Locker finalist

Sam Pons (CA) 8:55 3200

Connor Martin (IN) 9:07 3200, 4:13 1600

This is a great recruiting class. In fact, having looked at the recruits by school, the top two recruiting classes at this point are Princeton and Oregon. They are probably about even with each other. Stanford had great potential with the Rosa twins, however with one Rosa a question mark as to whether he will ever return at the same level having missed the XC season, and the other having imploded at his last major (Nike finals), the word in recruiting circles is that the Stanford recruiting team is in panic mode to shake a half way decent recruiting team out of the trees. This late in the game, it is not looking promising. They have no other top distance recruits. IMHO.

Try to shack a half way decent recruting class? They already have a commit from THE FASTEST JUNIOR 2 MILER EVER, and another who has run under 410 and 855, are they really that good out on the farm that this is a problem?

Luis Vargas (Angier, NC) to Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina

Has moussa signed yet? I know he verballed to run with the Buffaloes, but I haven't seen his name pop up on dyestatcal.

no he hasnt signed yet. talked wit him on fb and says he hasnt signed.

does that mean that he's still up for grabs. He and Elias are buddies, so...

Jay Bogdanoff to BENTLEY U. (Waltham, MA)

Moussa will end up a Duck!

Continue to ask how on earth Oregon gets all these guys. Some people will indeed take a little less money to go to their "dream" school, but not this many and what must be drastic differences in scholarship! Lannanna is the master of fake academic monies, broken promises of "next year" and financial aid manipulations with a finacial aid office willing to play ball (in-state residency, need/academic scholarships that dont count against 12.60, etc)

This is the biggest benefit Oregon enjoys, not more Nike gear than anyone else.
