Webb seems to be a loner. A competitive environment maybe counterproductive (lets hope not). There are pro's and con's to this, lets just hope this doesnt become a losing situation.
I'm surprised Nike has given Webb this much rope, especially with the way they treat sprinters and their contracts.

This is huge. The oregon group has been doing alot to resurrect american distance running. Webb has fantasic range, I see him as a 800/1500 kinda runner. With the diversity of athletes and training regimes at oregon right now, I would imagin ample oportunities to capitlize on webbs range and streghten his 800/1500 abilities.
Wether its a forced move or not, I think its a good one. Anyone guessing what that new american record will be next year?
