UCLA Exodus - Another Brosnan Transfer Committ GONE

Pac12 eating up these brosnan recruits from UCLA

Ronan to UW

Dalia and Mia to Oregon

Mckaylie to Utah

Colorado still on top

I’m sorry but this is messed up. To have these great recruits then lose it all is terrible

Caesar was Brosnan transfer #4 from Cal St Fullerton. She ran the '19, '21 and '22 xc seasons, so that makes her a senior (or grad) at Utah. Can probably run right away since she never really started at UCLA. Best of luck to her, solid pickup for Utes.

So whomever takes over at UCLA will have a clean slate. Probably a good thing, honestly.

It's a quality school soon to be in the B1G so whomever takes over will have some rebuilding to do but it can be done.

I guess now they can take their time to find a replacement and hire someone good... not a stop gap.

Wow Ucla really just burned it to the ground

Whoever takes the distance job will have it for one year. The Director wont be getting resigned

disagree^^^

I made this mistake last yr thinking AD and director Avery had decided to go all in on xc distance w/ even a few scholarships made available. For all the reasons people like UCLA, Brosnan would have dug in there and made it his base/legacy, but...

Now I agree with 1 and done. It will be 1 yr hire #4, and then it's a new director hire with whole new coach team.

What was UCLA’s mindset here? Did they think the team would stay together after firing the assistant coach so close to the season starting? Or do they just not care about the distance running part of the team?

What people don’t realize is that the transfer girls were initially going to stay. However, they were all promised scholarship that never came to fruition. Avery didn’t know about this and couldn’t set aside the scholarship for these girls. If Sean ever did stay, it would have been interesting to see how that played out.

I think ucla thought getting rid of an unethical coach was the right thing to do.

Don’t blame admin for Brosnan being a cheater and slimeball.

Sam McDonnell is next. Oregon or NAU.

UCLA will be fine. They will terrible during their final PAC-12 season. Once they enter the B1G, they will have the advantage of recruiting at home and from across the Midwest. Hire the right coach with good connections, then start poaching kids that would have settled for Nebraska, Indiana, or Illinois.

Thanks dad.

I’m surprised the Aussie 800m gal pitman hasn’t gone on the portal, but then again she wasn’t a Brosnan recruit, she got better under his guidance though

What about Newbury Park 2023 grads Ailish Hawkins / Aaron Cantu?

I find this hard to believe, but if it's true, offering kids and their parents athletic scholarships without acceptance from head coach, ad, registrar, compliance etc would be a good reason to can the assistant coach - distance.

We're writing Greg's script again.

"Honey, hope you're having fun at the beach. The coach called and said he won't be back next year...and we also got the school invoice. Call back when you get a chance."

Yes I would rather have no one then to have all that talent on the team getting in the way of bringing in people no one has ever heard of.
