Does anyone produce a list of recruits and progression as the recruits move through their college years. Seems like there are enough interested people talking shi# all the time. Has anyone questioned the results that North Carolina State (Coach Henes) is not having? The class they signed reminds me of the classes that Stanford under Miltenberg. A reminder that athletes need to look at all the facts.
What facts?!?!?!?! Like NC State has made more CC National appearances than any other school in history? Or the numerous girls who ran for her that went on to run professionally??? Or the progression of her own daughter that was a nobody in high school and is one of the best runners in the NCAA now???? What facts?????
OP might be the Fraziers' daddy or at least the Dad of a girl who didn't become a superstar like he expected. Either way, Henes has a pretty good track record and has built a big time program.
OP - if you have specific grievances, go ahead and list some things, otherwise, you just seem like a whiny parent.
I have zero grievances, I am just a fan of the sport and after seeing NCst get every good female last year, I logged in to see how they did at ACC's. But I'll take the bait and do some research, since you came so strong.
They won ACC cross country like they do almost every year in a 15 team major conference.
So here you go, and I think they are doing ok, I guess I just expected more from the indoor ACC Championships. They are running some fast times.

Wow, facts! Thanks for the research, we are not used to that here on LR.
While State had a great recruiting year, they did not get everyone. 3 of the top 6 (Tuohy, Starliper, Walters), and then 3 more from top 15 (Schultz, Hendrix and Cuarzo).
Some of the upperclassmen in your list, Henes, Steelman, Chmiel, Vess, Bush, Shaw, Howlett and LaTour all PRd at the ACC meet. The freshmen, on the other hand are out of the blocks a bit slower.
There will be a few in action at NCAA indoor on 3/12 and 3/13. Then the delayed 2020 XC is already 3/15 in Oklahoma. Most likely Tuohy and perhaps Cuarzo will be on that xc team, but there are so many upperclassmen running well, that it is not guaranteed.
Hopefully, 2020 plays out with a normal outdoor and xc season to enable a more thorough look at the freshman class.
Your UNC heels have a nice class for next year with Brown and Masciarelli headed that way.
