New Mexico going distance heavy. Crumbs for T&F while over emphasizing for XC. Tons of track kids in the portal
Not so sure they are completely going distance heavy. At least not any more than they were with Franklin... and actually probably less so.
Of the 10 on the men's side in the portal 50% are distance runners. On the women's side 4 of 7 are distance runners...
So evidence inconclusive.
Percentages are worthless when the distance transfers are no good and track were pretty darn good. But you're right, probably a similar model that was in place during Franklin's years.

Percentages in this case were worth something since your initial statement was there are 'tons of track kids in the portal'.... a clarification of what 'tons' actually is.
If someone is interested in the job they should talk directly to Darren. After speaking with him my sense is he's pretty serious about both XC & TF.

Devin West is well suited to recruiting and probably enjoys it. A ton of coaches don't want to recruit. If you can't recruit, you're not going to succeed unless your measure of success is team GPA.
Boise State will likely name their coach this week. Their AD is tweeting about announcing two big things to announce this week, and it's been ruled out that it's conference, uniform, stadium, or athletics village related.

They've got their guy and his name was not mentioned once in this thread nor was the name of the runner-up in the process.
