"A Fan Forum on the NC A&T fan site entitled ‘Blue Death Valley’ reports that a few other of Ross’s former pupils at A&T are in the transfer portal or have settled at other schools."

I found this section of the interview interesting.
"There are about 45 to 50 athletes right now,” Johnson said. “Typically, for a (Div. I) track & field program that’s small. I can see us adding another 15 to 20 athletes.
“For me and my vision for this program, I want A&T to be able to attract the best athletes, regardless of event,” he said. “At no time do I want us to be in a position where there’s a good athlete, we go after him, and we say ‘oh, we don’t do that here.’ No, we do track & field, here.
“There are 21 events. I’m going to have staff in place. They’re going to be the best coaches. They are going to be able to take all 21 of those events. We’re going to be able to coach at a high level at any given time in any of those events.
“So, that’s a long way of saying, yes, we will have some distance runners.”

It sounds like he is assuming we need more track athletes to be competitive in some of the other events outside of sprinters and jumpers.
Would have been better to just say we gone recruit talent for all positions not just speed and jumps

He did say that.
Damn, give the man a chance before unwarranted criticism start coming out.
Sounds to me he knows what we need and that he plans to meet our needs.

I’m curious to see what the entire program will look like when the dust settles. I thought we had a chance to keep Monroe given his family legacy. I really can’t tell that Johnson has hit the ground running, but I’m hopeful there are some behind the scenes wheels turning.

Coaches communicate with kids through social media…. You have been coach for 2 months and yiu still have previous employers profile up and that’s not a problem
Ok

Like it or not Johnson is going to have to rebuild A&T's program and put his stamp on it and it could possibly be that he wants to start with talent that has his footprint not Ross's. Don't get it Twisted is it right I wouldn't say it is, but I can understand it from a coaching perspective. No different than what a new Football Coach does.

Come on Saab the use of social media is to attract and communicate with potential student athletes not the ones that are already on the team
So he gone leave up another schools profile to run folks off ? 🤔
