QB/DB Latravis Washington

Imagine in a couple of years, after he puts on 15 lbs or so AND improves his speed - SICK.

Yes indeed. There are several players that are on the verge of committing that havent yet. Lets hope that they do soon, and stick to their commitment.

 
I have no idea what his passing percentage is this season, but like Phillip Bates, he apparently is not a good enough thrower for the WCO.

 
His forty time is a little slow for what I would like to have at safety but that is not enough for me to say that I don't want us to recruit him.

 
I remember reading that he has good "football speed" ,

anymore people are trained to run a good 40 and that doesn't always translate to the field. If he ran a REAL 4.68 that isn't too shabby of a start, some time here(NU) and i am sure we could shave .10 off. Back in high school i knew a guy who cut his 40 down .15 just by stretching seriously and often.

Besides, he is getting some attention from some big teams, so there must be something to his skills.

Fooey on that.....That's a legit time from a Nike Camp. That is fast.

Mike Brown, NU All-American, came to Nebraska sporting a 4.81 40 time

 
I really have to question the validity of all the recruits running 4.4 and 4.5 40's. Then you look at times from the NFL combines and far less run that speed.

 
I have hear recently that he is becoming very close to commiting. There is almost no doubt that it will be us. Ohio State among other big names are behind us but we seem to be far and away his leader. We are recruiting him to play safety- a position he feels his future is brightest at.
