Well after a disappointing performance at the national meet, it's time to turn our attention into rebuilding and reloading our roster for the 2027 season. We've signed a great bunch of high school recruits, especially on the men's side. We signed some great 100-400 runners, and possibly the greatest high school hurdler in history. On the women's side we've signed some great field athletes but haven't signed a single sprinter, which is a concern given that we lose so many. Our targets on the women's side should be sprinters first and foremost, as well as, mid distance runners. On the men's side we will need some throwers and distance help.

I'll keep the first post updated. Portal season is about to explode and we have to swing big if we want to get back to the top of the podium!

Lots of work to do on the women's side who just got 18th at nationals and lost 3/4 of their 4x100 relay who scored and their two sprinters who scored as well.

There was a lot of in state talent on the women's side we brought in as recruits on visits but failed to land… gotta score in the portal

Wonder what it is? NIL? Age? Poor coaching? I mean, progression has seriously lacked on the women's side for years

And obviously retention

It's just been weird, with the limited number of scholarships we were always top heavy and event heavy lacking in multiple areas. Now with NIL and the scholarship expansion we just haven't been able to have a more well rounded team like our other SEC foes. Our men have done a better job of adding depth, but it still seems our women have more deficiencies. Obviously injuries hurt and development plays a factor. There have been some amazing progress and development by some of our top athletes. Even with Bii and Yakushina, we still wouldn't have had enough scoring and depth. We use to always have 400 and 800 runners on the women's side and it's been a struggle there the past two years. Hurts us there, the 4x400, and the DMR indoors. Staying healthy all season long is another issue.

These next few weeks will be huge to see how we respond on the women's side. I really love how our men's team is shaping up, that recruiting class is exceptional, then you add Peter Narumbe, Etoro Bassey, Lawson Jacob's, and the talent we have returning it should be awesome. We just need a little more huge scoring pieces in field events. But the women, there's a lot of work to be done

With the new multi's and some field event prospects, our women seem to be adding depth pieces to round out the team. We just need to replace the sprints and mid distance through the portal

Right

That's a lot of nationally elite, consistently reliable talent leaving, we got some shoes to fill!

Solovev was listed as a senior after being listed as a freshman last year. So I guess he was only awarded two year of eligibilty. He is 24. Don't know how some internationals can come in at 24 and get 4 years

Would you be able to add how much eligibility, both indoor and outdoor, the transfers have at the top?

Yeah I can try adding their eligibility, but we'll see how the 5 year rule impacts all that. I know the throwers only have one year left. I would assume the JUCO guys would have 2-3 years.

Only college coaches can access the portal, so I just try to see what I could find on social media… I'm sure there's more names in the portal that we have no clue on, including some of ours. But usually they'll post to social media to get their names out there

I could be wrong but did I read somewhere that the JUCO years don't count against a year of competition anymore?

It's already a done deal who the coach is. Pat was a part of the process of interviewing. Person was notified before the NCAA meet by Trev before the NCAA meet commenced. I won't put the name out out of respect for The LEDGEND himself, the other institution and their athletes who may not know yet or have been informed. So don't ask please. I loved me some Pat Henry and I wish he could've stayed longer to enjoy the upcoming talent acquisitions. What a career!

Does the coach currently coach in the SEC?

What is the timeline to be announced? I would think with the portal we'd want to move quickly here.

Dang, I was about to ask TS13 who would start the coaching search thread...

"There are not many people that would say no to A&M (and this job). But there are not many we should ask to say yes" from Coach Henry's press conference....

Guessing "the Legend "already knew..,

You think the new coach might bring talent with him?

For those who know my history of posting here(first time this year though), I have always defended Pat Henry. I have been an advocate on these boards when many called for his resignation and firing. I felt expectations were misguided. Since those days only about 4 coaches have won the title and Henry is one of them. The number of times a coach will win, even those who had more talent than us, is rare. I was so saddened listening in the announcement cause I never wanted this ride to end with Henry. He has been a mainstay to A&M, track, the community, and to my life. This man, helped me through the loss of my parents and God allowed his gifting of this man to be brighter days for me over the years. Today, will not be about anything other than Henry for me. I love his perseverance and commitment to the program. I love how he endured trifling coaches around the SEC who tampered and tried to disuade athletes from coming here or scoop athletes who were already here. He survived them, the race-card tactics, their attacks against his health. He is a winner in the true sense of the word. Today is only about Henry - our faithful true ledgend. There's only one retirment for the man and there will be many days ahead for the next phase. So let's just rejoice in the gift GOD gave us in Henry.
