Kyle: Are you a runner? If you are not; if instead you are a salesman, a businessman, or a nurse, forget this message and go to Texas. But if you see yourself as a runner, you owe it to yourself to reconsider this 5th year nonsense. You are the American collegiate record holder now. Is the possibility of a couple ncaa titles more important to you than a pro deal and a better shot at making the Olympic team?
I’m not saying necessarily that you should not go to Texas. But you should at least talk to an agent and get them to evaluate your market value. I know contracts are not easy to come by right now (AJ nation anyone?) but that is all the more reason to see what is possible. Follow Centro and strike while the iron is hot.
