Anyone know what’s going on? All of his teammates are running incredibly and he seems continually sidelined, despite having (debatably) the best NCAA career of the bunch.

In his podcast he said he tripped and fell on ice before practice and continued to run for a whole week before finding out he injured his knee he’s probably out for the indoor season
He slipped the other day on ice and bruised something. You can watch the newest episode of the coffee club pod where he talks about it. I think 2 episodes ago he talked about what happened, and last episode he mentioned that he probably wasn't racing indoors.

He's a very likeable guy, and I imagine most of us feel for him and wish him a speedy recovery and a return to running fitness.
Has foregone athletics altogether, with a focus on funding a self starred “Raising Arizona II”.
It’s always something.
Hate to say it but he's washed.
Knee injuries suck. From my limited understanding, some parts of the knee simply hardly heal themselves at all. You hurt them, you are f'd. I'm going through a knee injury at the moment and it sucks.
Hope he had a good outdoor season - he’s had a fairly frustrating few years.
Also, really enjoy the podcast. I only listen to every third one or so but these guys seem much more levelheaded and approachable than the bulk of the current crop of distance stars. They balance each other pretty well: Ollie provides the drama / hot takes, Morgan the voice of reason and overall MC of the discussion, and Beamish maintains the base level of good vibes.

I completely agree and building on this I just want to say it has been awesome to listen to the podcast and hear Morgan genuinely celebrate the accomplishments of his teammates and openly talk about his set backs in training / racing. I'm sure it isn't easy, I'll definitely be rooting for him this outdoor season.
His YouTube channel was hilarious and very well done but he hasn’t posted a new video in Avery long time
He ran 7:39 on the way back to fitness last year. That suggests there's something there. He needs a really good outdoor season if he's going to make it to Worlds. I can't see him running the standard in either the 5 or 10 so he needs points. His agent is going to need to work hard to get him into a DL
Morgan seems to be very undisciplined. Has he been injured for most of his professional career? Yes

If this were true, I would sincerely thank him for the torch he carried for the Badgers and his continued support of distance running in the present. His podcast has always been interesting and funny. He was on such a high level as a runner and is surrounded by as well as supportive of people on the highest levels of the sport now. Much to be proud of in his career and a staple of the OAC group on the sidelines or not.
He's more focused on getting girls. Body count is in the 50s.
