LOL, Eric Peterson sucks huh? You have nothing to base that on. Every coach has a few people who are not really ready for college and running and chose different paths- as a coach you can't bring out that side of them if they don't chose it. Also UCLA has traditionally picked other people as recruits over distance runners because they weren't worth it. UCLA is a track first school. You can bash UCLA and Michael all you want- the truth will take awhile to manifest. I have more than a feeling you will be wrong!!!!
