Can someone explain Ian Kebenei (ASU)?

I think it's a shame that someone went out of their way to create a thread on LetsRun evidently to slam this kid, regardless of whether his performances live up to expectations. Think about how that feels.

I think OP is the XC coach at ASU.

Hahahaha Cory Leslie would be a legend for that.

You must be out of your mind if you think that the XC coach would actually go to those measures to post about his own athletes. Maybe if you stopped boofing you’d come to terms with this.

Former roommate of a certain mr Curtin here. Can confirm they were tempoing the race to get the feel for a big field and will run very well at pac-12, expect Curtin to take down Fisher.

The only believable part of that is Curtin taking down Fisher at Pac 12.

Shaming the kid into transferring? Doubtful. A better question is if this is a case that Elite athletes don’t necessarily make good coaches

So his brother is Asbel Kiprop? Maybe he is struggling with all that has transpired lately.

Maybe we should note the fact that Cory took over when the season already had started. Give it time and you’ll see. Adjustments to a program will take time.

Honestly whoever made this thread had the right idea. Guy was third to last (77th place) at the Pac meet in 26:19. Safe to say he is not as advertised

He’s on iron you bully

I wish someone from ASU would post Ian Kebenei's actual race results from Iten, Kenya. The race results that actually show an 8:54 steeple and a 14:02 5,000.

Is that asking too much?

So what becomes of Ian Kebenei's athletic scholarship (assuming he is on one)?

Still waiting for Arizona State to verify and validate Ian Kebenei's 8:54 steeple and 14:02 5,000 credentials from Kenya.

Word is the kid is a fraud. Doesn't try hard, heard he steals money and other items his roommate and is downright disrespectful. Word is his roommate is leaving after only a semester here. Was the 4:11 kid. Heard that Kebenei was one of the reasons he is transferring. Also heard that Kraft gave Kebenei an earful at the track only meeting since he is on full scholarship for not performing in cross country. We will see how he does in track then we can evaluate.

You'll be waiting a long time - they don't answer to you.

let's have the track performances do the talking wrote:

I think the guy who started all these posts must be his roommate. You seem to know a lot. Are you on the team? I've not heard he's lazy though I've heard some of the other stuff. His roommate is, in fact, transferring, for a variety of reasons.

I'm not on the distance side but know for a fact his roommate did not create this. It was created by someone who knows a lot about the school program, but isn't affiliated with it. That's what I heard from the distance guys.
