This. As to his track performance, suspect we're lacking some context.

Devon Witherspoon ran a 11.29 in HS and I think he turned out alright on the field.
How many of those runners play football and are getting D1 scholarship offers?

- from parts unknown
Any guesses on this one?

Another road grader coming soon!?
I do not get it. There is a huge difference between running the hundred and running with pads. How is his quickness to the ball? Does he have good technique? Track and Field athletes do not make for the best football players. It could be that he has not been given correct technique in Track. I trust this staff to find the right players to fit into this program.

gotta be his teammate, Henderson
Hopefully Hill or elzy... would still be excited for Henderson or moore though
Carnell Tate to OSU. The WR talent there lately is pure insanity.
Henderson
We need him to help sell tickets. He has good energy.
That’s his PR numbers listed. My point was not to bash the kid or say he can’t play football or isn’t welcome. My point is that his objective measurement of his speed and explosion show cause for concern.
I agree that if the coaches want him, he’s a take. They know more about football than I do. I’m just saying he’s slower than I thought a DB recruit could and should be.
Anecdotal, but I’ve never had a DB or WR that runs track that runs slower than an 11. I’ve been doing the track thing almost as long as the basketball thing.
But welcome Mr. Clarke! Work your tail off and grab your spot!

He also had a 6’7 high jump which objectively shows an absurd level of explosion for a 6’0 athlete.
Technique. Many things can impact track performance. 11.37 isn’t slow. Have any of you approached that time? I’d venture to guess most have not. Just saying.
And look at his improvement. His senior time should be around 11.0 if not faster. He has one more year, right?

16' 6" is terrible for long jump...would be a good standing long jump, maybe both events were done with pads on.....but 120th in state of Florida is nice....
We’re never going to agree on this so we should just put it to bed. If you ever have the opportunity, check out a track meet down south.

Hope we land the Michigan DE, Muragin, too.
Yeah, I said that. But if you take off a foot and a half behind the scratch line it becomes less terrible
No need. I’m surprised the girls times have gotten so fast.
I bet he runs closer to 11 flat this year.
Not ranked super high but has a real nice offer list from P5 schools!Crystal ball for Calvin Smith

Seeing as the current world record is 12’ 3”, that would be one hell of a standing long jump.
