[Glitch]

Ahhhh so there is young Young coming in to replace the old Young? The young RB group could use a Young, but I might get confused on their youts.

Yes, Joseph Young.

People act like UGA has been stocking elite talent for decades, and it's simply not true. For the last 3-4 years they've had great talent, and in the mid-2000s they had Moreno. People ignore the years where they had to rely on Caleb King, Ealy, Samuel, etc. Richt even ran out the no backfield line-up while Crowell was on a visit to show him how bad their RB depth was.

But Ealy, Samuel, Jasper Sanks were all 5*'s. I think King was top 3 at RB. They were still stocking the position with guys everyone wanted, they just didn't pan out.

 

[Nationdom]

Hurd
Kamara
Kelly
RDAIV
Paulk

That's better than most SEC backfields imo

No it's not. Kelly and Paulk are both unproven 3 stars and RDAIV won't make any kind of impact. We are very, very thin at RB

RDA is a utility player and he does that much better than Devrin Young ever could. You really gotta stop putting so much into the stars thing man.

His head is so far past the clouds that stars are all he can see! :hi:

FOSTER was a 3*

Dude, you've gotta quit paying so much attention to the star ratings. Check out some film and you can see the potential in Kelly and Paulk. Kelly will be a really good back and if reinstated, Paulk has big time potential as well. Sure they're unproven, but all young backs are when they start their careers. RDAIV will be a very capable utility back. He has plenty of experience and will do well with his opportunities IMO.

Pfft... over 5 seconds off of Michael Johnson's world record time. :no:

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Thank the heavens!

I've been holding my breath for his 400 time. Now, I know we've got us an athlete.

 

[kamoshika]

He also finished 4th in the 200 (22.14) after setting a new PR in the prelims (22.07), and he ran the opening leg for GAC's state champion 4x400 relay team.

Abernathy is not a burner by any means (100 PR of 11.36), but I think his outstanding quickness & instincts make up for his lack of tremendous speed.

 

[engineerVOL]

Anybody that can "dash" 400 meters is scooting in my book. People like me dash to the fridge. Solid 10 yards at times. I move pretty good when the cookies come out of the oven too.

 

[LittleVol]

Thank the heavens!

400 meter runners are some of the best athletes. You need speed and endurance for that event.

I am impressed by his victory.

I ran it about 52. 400 is a man's race it is by far the hardest......awesome dang time

 

[KokoBVol]

For someone who doesn't really know anything about track, what is the 400m? Is it one lap ?

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

One full lap wide open sprint

 

[DominicLoBianco]

Correct! Some people consider it the hardest event in track because it combines the raw speed needed for the srpinting events like 100m and 200m and also the endurance that the distance runners need.

I hated 400, brutal to sprint that long.

Indeed

You are missing a classic VN running joke on 400 times, dating back to CP84's recruiting thread

For comparison, Malik Foreman is considered our fastest player and he ran a 10.98 in high school. 11.36 proves Micah can scoot as well.

800 was always the hardest IMO.

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

This.

My HS track coach thought because I ran the 1 mile and 2 mile I'd be a good leg on the 4x800. He was sorely mistaking.

Finally a Vol signee that gets it
400s are important
