Updated Summary page with # recruits by school, fastest times (800-2 mile) for the recruiting class and average time (800-2 Mile) for recruiting class.
So interesting that at least on the girls’ side, Cal Berkeley has zero signees. Even if the program isn’t the strongest, it has the great academic reputation/ranking as a plus. Wonder why the slow start.
Curious about Aiden Monistere (4:07, 9:02, NXN qualifier) of Baton Rouge. Tend to think kids from places like Louisiana, without a huge running culture, are underdeveloped and can really take off at the next level. NOLA Jesuit might be an exception to that rule, but I digress. This article indicates that Aiden has had some bone stress injuries and does lots of swimming. The article also reports, unhelpfully, that he has visited "Oklahoma State and Okla State" lol

Okla has a new coach, plus easier to type. I'd pick them.

Regarding Vause, the new 17 roster rule would seem to be causing BYU some grief. Four top recruits in Vause, Kitchen, Steadman, and Coombs all seem like typical BYU guys but remain uncommitted. No insight, but I’d guess BYU ends up with just one of them when in a normal year they’d get 3 or all 4.

Parkview is one of the consistently better programs in the state. They’re not elite or anything by any stretch of the means but they’ve had some decent runners come through there through the years. That’s not to say the kids maxed out by any stretch just that whoever gets him will likely be getting someone with room to grow but also has a good grasp on good training (I don’t know anything about parkviews training or anything directly, just familiar with the general landscape down there)

To those of you worried that some of these guys are uncommitted, remember that Nico Young and Katelyn Tuohy committed AT THE END of December 2019.
I can imagine that some of the athletes are going to start having a harder / longer time making their decisions because of the 17 person limit rule

As it should be. No reason for these kids to rush to make their decisions. what is the upside for deciding where you want to verbal to as a junior. the SA has all the power now. Use it

BYU is a unique situation. Their normal recruit will sign and then go on a two year mission. So in the new scenario they will not be on the 17 person roster until three years later.
And under the new rules I am not sure whether "signing" in that case even has any meaning. This could be why the four haven't signed with anyone. Maybe signing makes sense only if you plan to run next year as a freshman.

No they don’t. The 17 limit means schools have to make hard choices and some kids will miss out on their preferred school(s) if they wait too long, hoping for more money or a school like Stanford to step up and offer.

they do have the power. they just don't know it yet... the kids who have to worry about roster limits are not your top level kids who are committing as a junior. do you really think Englehardt had to commit to NC state as a junior because they wouldn't have waited for her to decide until this fall.???

You’re talking about a handful of kids. Like 5. Nico and KT being the examples used who were/are generational talents. Not really relevant to 99% of recruits and the landscape has changed fast especially with the NCAA roster limits.

here are the facts...
1) a verbal commit binds neither party. neither recruit or the school
2) new rule regarding signed contract... it is only binding on the university. (NLI is a thing of the past)
where does that, do you think, place the power?
as the guy said, the SAs now have all of the power, they just don't know it yet.
