ERIC JENKINS TO UNCONN!!!

Are you Reny or Reny's mom? Year after year? And NU is 50k a year but nobody pays that or anything close to it. And the injury stuff is not bogus moron. Olympic year a sub 4 hot shot freshman disappears outdoors after opening with a useless 31 min 10k. Brilliant race choice. I'm sure Jenkins was just like oh...I feel great....let me redshirt and not try and make the trials or NCAA's or anything. Yup that's what happened buddy.....

Many who know would suggest Renny might be good for a very few one on one, but college coach? You need to have a different personality. Do you know why the girls team continued to struggle?

Probably due to the 0 scholarships.

False.

Then why? Do you know how many the girls distance squad has?

UCONN is an overrated shit frat school where kids are beaten and stabbed to death at parties by non UCONN community college kids - this happened to a uconn football player and again the following year.

The UCONN distance program has sucked for years and years. They have strict roster limits and take a lot of high schoolers with promising middle distance times, but most of them end up quitting by soph or jr year, probably because of the frat boy meathead atmosphere they're all surrounded by.

It's actually quite funny how true this post is. He'd be making a big mistake if he went there.

UCONN is a joke, huh? funny, considering I ran 4:02 in the mile as a member of the track team. boom roasted.

If he is intent on staying in the northeast, he could make worse choices...(cough...UMASS...cough...cough).

If intent on staying in the northeast then why not Iona? Throw Jenkins into their team and they could be a podium team in Terre Haute. The coaches there have experience coaching a guy to sub 13.20 and national titles.

I hear he's going to Furman

i hear he isn't getting released so that is the end of this.

You are all wrong. He is transferring to Wisconsin.

No shit dude. I am from Connecticut myself, where I've witnessed my own Connecticut high school teammates go to that shit university and never run a single step again after 1 summer and season of XC training, plenty of HS 4:20-4:30 milers (this was about 10 years ago) are recruited there and quit immediately.

Lol.. That's an ironic suggestion; and you sir clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I think it's your bedtime. Jenkins' new coach at UCONN (his old coach at Nu) transferred from Iona after his 2nd year of college because he hated the school..went to umass. Hahaha. Hated that too. Jenkins loves Renny. You can't overlook that. He thought Vanhoy was a dweeb from the onset.

Jenkins will do great at UCONN...know why? Because he IS GREAT. And now he will be comfortable with Renny. All of you can think what you want. But don't ever think Eric Jenkins is a normal human. Dude's a freak. If you forget that part of the equation, then you will be wrong about any suggestions you have. Fact.

and there are the bennatan twins, gagnon, rutt. uconn is the best school in new england and 1 of the best in the northeast.

the reasons many quit is because they can't handle it. a lot of kids don't enjoy going from a star in high school were their coach had them 1 on 1 and gave them all their attention to a big competitive team where they will be a nobody until they prove themselves. a lot of 4:20/4:30 milers quitting doesn't prove anything. a 4:20 miler in college is useless. unless they can show potential or significantly improve on that, they probably shouldn't even be trying out for the team.

1. Vanhoy is leaving NU

2. Everything else is a rumor

OK, but those factors are true for ALL mediocre to pretty good but not great high school students going to any college!!! So how do you explain all the kids who attend the uconn prpgram and then shit the bed? It probably has something to do with the meathead frat boy atmosphere. Kids are beaten to death at parties there by idiots attending the nearby shit community colleges & creepy thugs with long criminal history who come there and act like total idiots...It's a terrible atmosphere there. If you're serious about running you'll probably do well there but there are a lot of bad influences and distractions
