I think he was holding back in XC, now he's ready to bust loose and start kickin some good ass again.

I doubt that he was holding back. The truth is that he hasn't looked really sharp since his 1500 title as a frosh. Even in his Am Jr record 5000 he didn't look 100% to me.
To me the question is whether we will ever see a full 100% German again. I hope so.
I hope so too because what's he going to do with an Ok State degree?

Why, because he didn't win the race so that means he's not 100%? You're an idiot.

Now that's funny. I give you credit for being funny. First you ask the question "Why?" Then YOU answer it but attribute the answer to me. That's truly cute. Really, how very clever of you.
I have watched German race many, many times since his high school days. He is someone who if you watch closely and are familiar with him you can tell if he "has it" pretty easily without having to check his time or what place he comes in. In that 5000 he really didn't have it. He accomplished what he did that day through talent, guts and running a really smart, evenly paced race - and in spite of not being 100%.
Now, maybe you could think about studying the sport a bit before you try to show just how clever you are. At least consider it.
It really doesn't matter where you get a degree from, but he's majoring in criminal justice.
A 100% German could break 13:10 this season.
What about a 50% German? Ethnically I'm 1/2 German...soooo...what, like 14:45?

1. Suppose you are an employer or, better yet, on a graduate admissions board. Applicant A has a degree from Oklahoma State, and applicant B has a degree from Stanford. Would you ignore this bit of information?
2. People who attend academically-rigorous universities get a better education. This leaves them more prepared to do better work in their career. Thus it is more likely, though obviously not guaranteed, that they will be successful.
There are certainly very bright people at any university, and a motivated and intelligent individual can get a great education just about anywhere, but it is ridiculous to say it doesn't really matter where you go to school, provided you are actually going to use your degree, which German will not.

I wouldn't. F Stanford. I would not hire someone from one of these self proclaimed elite institutes, where many students are over privileged and have a skewed sense of reality

I would hope there would be an interview to determine if I wanted to hire the applicant. The school a person went to would not mean he/she has a personality that fits my needs.
I am not impressed with the way Ryan Hall's education. Stop generalizing.

I'll just leave this here.
That would be "academically rigorous" rather than "academically-rigorous." I didn't even have to go to Stanford to learn that...

You sir are an idiot. It has been shown that school name hardly matters in graduate admission. It is the INDIVIDUAL not the institution who makes or break their potential. Now it just so happens a lot of them are at the schools you mentioned but there are also many at schools never heard of. Your number two is a fallacy. It should be people who attend academically-rigorous universities have a greater resource base not potential education. A so-called Harvard undergrad education will not help me do hardly anything deemed practical in the real-world so you also need to expand your definition of education. Again it is up to the INDIVIDUAL to pursue their education and some schools do have better resources than others for its students to pursue the education but it does not mean the student will automatically ge the better education.
I think the fact that most(not all) got into the Universities such as Harvard through either hard work or an excellent natural capacity in highschool. Where one goes to undergrad has a greater meaning when considering the extremes, i.e., Harvard vs. State school. It may not matter as much when considering applicants who both attended state schools. So with that being said, one who attends Harvard does have the potential to achieve more if pursued compared to most who attend state schools. I say most because there are those who attend state schools who perform well.
I wouldn't hire him because he has a criminal justice degree. That is the most worthless degree possible.

You will never make a cop's salary.
