Here's a link to a story on the UT site about the NCAA regional.

Interesting signing class for sure. Talented. I would say it is probably one of the top-5 classes that Toledo has ever had but it will take 3-4 years to see if that is really the case.

I am disappointed to not see any track kids in this class. They need to get xc back to at least top-half of the MAC but track is even worse than xc right now and they didn't do anything to help that.

This weekend could be a disaster. I don't understand how the coach keeps saying "we ran well at Wisconsin". They were DEAD LAST and had not one runner finish higher than like 220th out of 250 runners?

Yeah, that's (the track thing) curious to say the least.

Women 18th of 31 teams at NCAA Regional. Lowest finish in 20 years (before Hadsell). They makes them the #10 team out of 12 which is even lower than the 9th place at MAC which was lowest finish since 1998 (Hadsell's first year).

This guy had better right the ship of he will be passing in the night.

UT men finished 24th out of 30 teams.

Another signing reported on twitter. Following Coach Cullop in reaching across the pond apparently.

Good recruit. This class is surely one of top-5 Toledo has ever had. But two problems: where are the track kids? He inherited a top-15 program with tons of young talent way better than these recruits and he coached the program to the bottom of the MAC. Getting these good runners means nothing if he doesn't learn how to coach.

Another one.
