What's Wrong with Kieran Smith? No PB's in 5 Years. Is it time to leave Gainesville?

Kieran Smith is stacking World Championship teams and medals... but no best times in forever and zero buzz. Dax & Elvis ask the tough question: Is it time to leave Gainesville? We compare his yardage overload to past mistakes, why high-volume distance training can backfire, and why elite freestylers belong at Cal for power/technique fixes. Marketing fail or deeper issue? Mental baseline reset after big success? Brutal honesty.
