CU or NAU would be killer. I would say no to Virginia. They are not that good and years away from getting good.

Tell me who you think has a better coach than Virginia; back it up with facts, not assertions.

Mike Smith and Mark Wetmore

CU and NAU are very good now with great coaches and great athletes to train with. Virginia is not the same level as NAU or CU and they just got a coach that is busy with USATF stuff and has not coached in years. It will take Virginia the life of an in coming freshman's college career to get good. And that' s a big IF.

Those are facts on why picking CU or NAU is better then Virginia

Mike Smith and Mark Wetmore

Well, you failed to back it up with anything at all. Even if those two are as good or better than Vin L (and deliver some particulars), Vin brings VA a ton of prestige and quality coaching and good people will want to work with him (coaching and running).

Also, just saw this; short end of the distance recruits.

Impressive signing for the Badgers.

Canadian Abdullahi Hassan won the NBNI 800m in 2019.

His 1:47.5 and 46.8 combined 800m/400m PBs are significantly better than any

US Class of 2020 recruit in those events.

It looks backed up to me. No one said anything about the coach but you. No way a top recruit wants to run for Vin and UVA. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT, but since you bring up coaching. Vin is old news and at the end of his career with no coaching in a decade. No really fast HS kid today will pick him over the other top schools. Maybe 20years ago, but not today. More HS kids would pick Any Powell at Washington over Vin. I think you get what I'm saying.

Don't get me wrong Vin will improve UVA, but he will not get the top kids.

Why would anyone want to live and train in the conditions of Madison Wisconsin? And I am serious, just don't get it.

Jaden Theis to Michigan

She has been struggling with injury since track season and hasn't been running a lot but still got 2nd at states

I wonder how her sister is doing

I mean Mike Smith and Mark Wetmore have way better track records than Vin even when Vin was in his prime. Vin always had the top of the top talent and still got punked repeatedly by Wetmore, and no one has ever really done what Smith is doing at NAU now in terms of long-term dominance in the modern era. Closest thing is Arkansas under McDonnell but that was a much different era

Strangio got rejected by Stanford so now he may be stuck having to slum it with UCLA HAAA!!!

Matt went on trips to NAU, Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Portland.

Before Mitt went to UNC, Stanford was a lock for Matt.

Milt’s couldn’t have got Matt admitted anymore than JJ/Carlos lol.

Ethan Kern - York - University of Kentucky

Daniel Klysh - York - University of Iowa

Emma Kern - York - Canisius

Michael Moriarty - York - University of Missouri

Stanford flips Starcher from ND. Sparks can't be too happy about that one.

LOL that's so funny about Stracher, Im sure the Notre Dame staff wasn't happy about that. She did that so quietly too.

Has NAU signed anyone yet other then Tori Gaitan on men’s or women’s side? Find it hard to believe that runners are not signing to run for the Lumberjacks.

Tori Gaitan - Great Oak - Northern Arizona University

Audrey Dang - Great Oak - University of California Davis

Taryn Parks to UNC (not sure if this was posted earlier)
