By the rules no offer can be given until their Senior year. But 1:53 / 4:17 won't get many looks from top colleges. I don't know why, these kids are diamonds in the rough and can develop into all-Americans.
Go to Chico State my man. I've seen 4:30 kids turned into sub 4 milers in a year or two. They have a good thing going there and give kids a chance. I'd call them up.
You don't think big colleges will look at this kid with Junior year times like his? I think he's got a shot at going to a top DI school. But to play the other side, I'm a big Chico State fan. They take California kids and turn them into monsters. IF you decide to go to a Division II school, I would definitely say go to Chico State.
