It's time to call for a new coach.
It doesn't take a deep team to score well at the NCAAs. It takes using your scholarships on athletes that can score there, instead of splitting one scholarship on 4 guys that can't get 4 points together at the conference meet.GarlandBear84 said:
Speaking of the extreme success of USC and Stanford is it because of their use of academic endowments, better management of the scholarships allotted, or what? Some schools other than those I suspect "cheat" by getting great athletes qualified or accepted into school.
We had a FR Jayson Baldridge this year that had the 15th fastest time in the nation, but he got hurt before the B12s and had to run gimpy the rest of the year. He also ran the lead-off leg on our fastest 4X400 of the year (3:04). JR Antwuan Musgrove ran the 19th fastest 400H in the nation, but was very inconsistent. Don't forget that the Bromell's class included TJ Holmes, a great intermediate hurdler who got homesick and transferred back home to Florida, went pro last year and was 5th at the World Championships. While he was at Baylor, he was 2nd in the 400H at the B12s, ran a leg on the B12 Champ 4X400, was 4th in the 400H at the NCAAs, won the USA Junior Nationals, and got the bronze medal at the World Junior Champs.Surf Oso said:
when was our last great 400IH guy? Kamani? Those guys are tough and can double in the 4x4 or open 400. Do we even have an IH'er on campus right now? We haven't had a intermediate hurdler make the NCAA meet since Kamani and Smith in 2001. RGIII got hurt in 2008 if I remember or he would've but he wasn't a Harbour recruit. He ran a 49.2 as a freshman on shear guts. I think he even led with the wrong leg.
