Is this news? I was 100% confident this was what he was going to do He's an UOregon guy like Rupp and Salazar, but there was no other explanation for him not saying what group he was joining at the beginning of the summer unless it was the NOP.

He didn't want to say the NOP due to the doping controversy.. Let the doping controversy stuff die down, make sure no one is actually charged and then announce you are running with the NOP . That was my prediction a long time ago and now it's true.

I just lost all respect for Jenkins !

Only in Roger Goodell's office is probably or generally aware enough. In the real world actual proof is needed.

what a dooshbag response. if you were so certain why didn't you post a big article on your prediction.

off course it's news bunghole, that's why, uhm, there's a press release and news article.

you insist on lowering your IQ with your "superior" attitude on this site and board.

Show me 3 times you fell on your sword here. Still believe Kenyans never dope?

Coming from a guy that starts a prediction thread titled, "Breaking:..."

13:07.33 is certainly an improvement.

Excuse me Mr. cognitively disabled teenage nike fanboy...

Did you mean to post two hostile posts back to back? Or were you rehearsing different insults before accidentally posting them both? The first one shows a subconscious desire to actually be more like an intelligent poster. However, you're internally conflicted, because you want to maintain your fantasy of Eric Jenkins being an infallible human.

keeponhating (translation: I am about to spew forth some hateful messages, but project and blame the hate unto you)

so much hate on you (translation: I'm about to present myself as completely insulting and hostile, while internally feeling that I'm righteous)

are you ok? (translation: the poster is destabilized)

did you take your meds? (translation: this poster probably should consider taking meds, because he can't restrain himself from embarrassingly insulting an anonymous person for the person's expressed views about a minor celebrity)

do you know Jenkins personally? (translation: poster doesn't know Jenkins personally, but would really love to)

so many questions to ask you. i wish i could be like you. (attempted insult, often heard in middle school hallway disputes, speaks for itself)

Then, showing more internal conflict, you make bigoted homophobic insults in the second post. So while you are clearly in love with the fantasy of Eric Jenkins, you are bashing another poster (who's pointing out that he does not share in your fantasy) by publicly insinuating that because he is smart, and capable of expressing himself in more intricate ways than you, he's probably also homosexual, and worthy of ridicule rather than the positive attention his intelligent posts are likely to receive.

You must be going through a lot of turmoil. You're not alone. Many people (including myself) are sincerely upset by the behavior and ethics of Alberto, top people at Nike, USATF, and others. It's disturbing. It's hard to be nice to each other when we're so disturbed. Go ahead and keep on hating, but I advise that you direct your anger and frustration more appropriately, if only for your own health.

Performances plural. And I was referencing (but didn't state) during college career cycle.

The real point being made was the EYE POPPING progression from decent HS senior times to WORLD CLASS times in such a short period of time and at a relatively young age in 2013.

Born Nov. 24, 1991

Season Bests:

Portsmouth HS 2011: 1500 m 4:04.56, 1600 m 4:15.0, 3000 m 8:53.10, 5000 m 15:16.20, mile 4:28.33, 2 mile 9:24.66

Northeastern U 2012 Freshman: outdoor season medical redshirt

2013 outdoor season Sophomore: mile 3:58.11 (1-26-13), 3000 m 7:50.44 (2-9-13), 5000 m 13:18.57 (4-28-13)

Transfers to Oregon for Junior and Senior year.

U of Oregon 2014 Junior: 5000 m 13:27.41 (6-13-14) NCAA Championships Eugene OR

2015 Collegiate outdoor season Senior: 5000 m 13:31.76 (1-23-15)

Goes Pro summer 2015 signs with Nike NOP and goes to Europe: 1500 m 3:38.98, 3000 m 7:41.79, 5000 m 13:07.33

Northeastern times don't pass the sniff test based on HS times.

Northeastern times slowly wear-off (slow-down) while at Oregon with superior coaching, training, team, racing environment.

Goes pro and to Europe and over the course of two months smashes his PR's

Thoughts?

Racing for wins vs times?

Yeah, here are my thoughts:Jenkins was severely undertrained in high school, but fantastically talented. Didn't he start running seriously his senior year or something? He goes to Northeastern, where there was a great coach, and shows his talent from great training. At Northeastern, I'm pretty sure he was documented smoking weed, and while that's not absolute proof he wasn't doing performance-enhancing drugs, it kinda is. He went to Oregon, and instantly got injured for about 9 months. Even without getting into any fast races, it was clear he was in good shape, and he ran 13:27 in a championship race. As a senior, he clearly had improved and was second only to Cheserek in the NCAA, coming in 2nd in XC, winning the 3k, and coming in 2nd in the 10k and the 5k. Then he got into some fast races and showed that he had indeed improved from his times two years before. Then he joined NOP. Then you implied he was a doper. Any questions?

Question: How does a 9:24 2 miler in HS get to 13:18 5km in two years? What kind of training regime would enable this to take place? Under trained in HS does provide a greater potential for quick improvement but come on... the fastest under 21 time by an American in the 5 km?

"He went to Oregon, and instantly got injured for about 9 months. Even without getting into any fast races, it was clear he was in good shape, and he ran 13:27 in a championship race".

Correct, Junior year benefits from his time at Northeastern?

"As a senior, he clearly had improved and was second only to Cheserek in the NCAA, coming in 2nd in XC, winning the 3k, and coming in 2nd in the 10k and the 5k".

Correct, his senior year he raced very well in cross country; however, his track times in the 5 km were slower than his previous two years.

"Then he got into some fast races and showed that he had indeed improved from his times two years before".

Correct, faster races and significant time improvement in Europe: 24 seconds from his senior U of O year coming off of what was his improved senior cross country season and 9 second time improvement from his Northeastern U Soph year.

Yea, his two years at Northeastern and two months at NOP.

Any questions?

Are you f*cking kidding me? Unbelievable how big a reach your theory is. The kid barely ran in high school, smoked cigarettes and weed all the time and still ran 9:24! I ran 9:24 in high school and if I had trained and lived like Jenkins I wouldn't have sniffed 10:00
