I think you'll see AJ as primarily a steepler next year--and probably one of the best in the NCAA.
Now this is hyperbole that's rarely seen even in these parts.
There's a huge disconnect between your expectations and reality. You'd serve Acosta's interests much better by keeping quiet than expressing your wild fantasies.
At this point, there is nothing I've seen from Acosta's two races to suggest 'steeplechase'. If he becomes a steeplechaser he'd have to become an entirely new athlete than what he's shown thus far.
To put things in perspective, when I ran my first steeplechase, as a college freshman, I was a 4:08 miler, with a best 2 mile of 8:55. The week of the race, my coach asked me if I wanted to try the steeplechase. I said "sure, why not". He had me jump over a couple hurdles, when I passed that test, had me try the water barrier. No problem. That was it. My time was 8:52, in a dual meet against Kent State, on a track so bad that it wouldn't be a Rupp-certified for cross country.
Now compare that to a Acosta, who has been a 4:00 miler for three years now (he ran a 3:45 1500 4 years ago!). He hasn't shown one iota of aptitude for the steeplechase, and it's unfortunate that he's being pushed into the event "for points".
It seems to me that Acosta would do more for Oregon scoring-wise in the 1500, and that Mac Fleet, given his lineage, would be the ideal candidate for the steeplechase. But that's just my opinion. I don't know anything about this event.
