Mavric Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Or faster Not likely 21.8 won the state championship in Missouri last year. 22.1 is pretty solid even if it is handheld a 22.18 would be a 22.44 FAT. Not world class but the kid is a state level sprinter that can throw a football. My point is hand-held times can be inaccurate, more than just the conversion. Quote Link to comment

So track times are not a valid measure to determine whether a kid is fast? Quote Link to comment
Husker-Joe Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Welcome Terry WilsoN!! I am super pumped about this commit. Kid is a stud athlete... can never have too many of those on a team! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Valid track times are definitely useful. But there would be a lot of difference between turning in a 22.1 and a 22.6 if the timer has a slow trigger finger. Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yes it is a big difference but he has elite speed for a qb. He has great speed for a db or wr. Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I assume a kid from a decent size high school would be FAT times. We haven't ran a non FAT meet all year. Shoot even our JV meets are FAT. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 He seems like a long strider, takes a little bit to get up to speed, but once he does, he can fly. Like Denard Robinson. His 40 time may be a little slow because he is a slow starter, but has a fast 200 time because he has more time to make up for a slow start. 1 Quote Link to comment
HIPP REDWINE ROZIER Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Welcome Terry. I really like this pick up. Not a very good team behind him in HS. What if he was on a top HS team the numbers he'd put up. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Saw that the 200M time is electronic so that's pretty nice. jsneb might be on to something with being a slow starter. The only problem is you do a lot more starting in football than running at full speed. But either way that's plenty fast. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Interesting - I hadn't noticed this on his stats. I'd seen the passing numbers - 2856 yards, 24 TDs, 10 INTs - but hadn't seen the rushing numbers - 194 yards, 4 TDs. For how much he's running around, I expected quite a few more rushing yards. Not saying that's bad, just surprising. Also, ran a 4.8 40 at an Opening combine. Would have expected a little faster from watching the film. Perhaps he runs smoother than fast. From his film breakdown (as noted above), he extends the play with his feet but still looks for the pass. This could explain how he could be a runner threat but have low rushing stats.

Agree with that being a good thing. But that's only about 15 rushing yards per game. I would think with all that running around he'd take off and have more than that on one or two carries. Again, not a bad thing, just surprising. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Maybe a few bad sacks per game from all the scrambling that didn't make it into the highlight packages? Quote Link to comment
