Does anybody know anything about recruits for this year? Are there any impact people coming? Recruits at the socon level are not as highly publicized as they are at really big schools. Does app have any grad students coming in this year?

It does take 5 to win a meet... uncg has two new Kenyans from my sources... 5 Kenyans and Thompson equals socon title

They already had two kenyans
2+2=5?
I'm sure your facts are as good as your math.
So they have 4 kenyans, koech and katam, plus 2 more new ones? Can anyone who knows their team confirm this?
I have heard that their coach strongly discourages the team from posting. Some of their alumni used to post though so maybe one of them has some info.
Okay someone tell me what the deal is? If they do have two more kenyans they've got it won. Straight up, no questions asked.
Maybe the guy who started the rumor should just say where he heard it. Or maybe he made it up to get us all to chase our tails.
cant wait for app to be dethroned.....
App's streak is pretty close to the all-time record, and I'm sure many would love to see it end- but is 5 kenyan imports really what everyone wants to see?? Thompson is good, don't get me wrong- but do people really want UNCG to become the Alabama (or UTEP, EKU, etc) of the Socon?? I would sooner pull for any other team in the conference that is honestly built over a team that is dominated by kenyan imports.
I don't care if uncg wins it with 7 winged dogs that flew out of the coaches ass, if they beat appy I will cheer for them.
well its pretty clear that you never worked hard to get better or ran at a conference meet, if app loses to a team that that devoted themselves to running more than they did and beat them, then good for them- all foreigner teams are chickenshit and dishonorable; this is all merely speculation until their team is fully realized, but it is pretty pathetic if UNCG truly is so desperate that they give up on Americans altogether because they realize that they can barely recruit or train anybody, especially with how good thompson was getting.
Every team in the socon is currently trying to recruit this athlete. He claims to be 20 but i think hes older.
word on the street is he is a good runner and enjoys singing on the side.
Why haven't any teams posted their recruits they've signed?
Check Milesplit. They have most recruit signings listed for each state.
Looks like Davidson and UTC will square off at the Louisville meet.
App and UNCG will face each other at Paul Short.
Those are the four best teams and the two fastest courses. I think we'll know a lot after those two meets.
Wow. Just heard that its confirmed about greensboro getting 2 new kenyans. One is a sub 14 guy from shorter. The other is a mystery transfer.
Is it paul chelimo? Won the NAIA national meet in 14:05.
That would be huge if they got him. Looks like this might be the year.......
How pissed is app going to be when they lose to a bunch of foreigners.
Rumors are Moen and Soderman are red-shirting. I guess they have plenty of good Freshman coming in. It will be a tough year with the Kenyan Quad at UNCG but that will make APP work that much more for their 7th straight title. It will be a great season regardless.
If they redshirt App won't win regardless of UNCGs Kenyans. If they don't they will still lose but it will be a lot closer.

Redshirting Moen wouldn't do anything since he already got a redshirt from not running cause of injury his sophomore year.
If UNCG did get the shorter kenyan the entire conference should redshirt and refuse to run against this debauchery of a team.
