Actually not necessarily.

Some years back..Brian Kimbrough was 4 star RB out of Memphis and raced and NFL CB from his neighborhood.

He beat the guy. Mcgee was his name. He was also a very good return man in the league.

Eric Berry, Nick Chubb also got slower in college. But they stronger and more explosive

I think the point is that hs times are exaggerated and exposed at the combine. Not that the kids get slower.

“I’m planning a trip up to Tennessee next weekend with one of my close friends (4-star athlete) Khafre Brown,” Crouch said.

“Last time it was an amazing experience. I loved the atmosphere around it. Just the mountains, for me I stress a lot, the mountains really calmed me down and let me be free of all the overwhelming stuff that really fills my head. Driving through the mountains really made me calm.”

Crouch has a checklist on what all he’s looking for in his future school, so when he goes on each visit he tries to “get to know the staff and collaborate with them and see if it’s going to be the best fit for me.”

How did Tennessee come out on first glance?

“I feel like they’re a program that needs someone to help turn it around. I feel like me going there could really jumpstart it and get it back to what Tennessee used to be,” he said.

“You look back at history, Tennessee was one of the teams to beat. I feel like coach P(ruitt) over there is going to make a change and I feel like me impacting either side would help out a ton.”

Sounding really good.

Agreed. I think we will be a strong contender here. I don't think he is scared to bring a school back to the top. He did it in HS so probably resonates more with a kid like him than one that plays at a perennial powerhouse HS.

The kids don’t get slower after leaving HighSchool....they get accurately timed.

And you completely glossed over my first point.

Kimbrough was faster than an NFL DB. Mcgee was an ALL-Pro KR that year as well

Chubb and Berry were Track and Field Champions. But I guarantee neither as fast as they were in High School

MEANING...some of those 4.3's in high school are legit....

In your head count to one. Then divide that time up into ten sections. Now you can have some perspective on how much difference there is in the 4.4 vs 4.? There really isnt much between when each crosses the finish line. What seperates the great RBs is vision, change of direction and acceleration. Not straight line speed

Too much logic.

-Crouch thinks a lot of schools are doing a good job recruiting him but some of his best relationships are with coach Bentley from South Carolina, coaches Tennessee, and coach McGee from Georgia. Tennessee- Crouch will visit Tennessee next weekend with Rivals250 wide receiver Khafre Brown. Will be Crouch’s second visit and wants to get closer to the coaches and players. He has a good relationship with coach Pruitt and his area recruiter. He likes what the offense is going to look like and thinks his running style would fit well.

South Carolina- Crouch wants to see them play and compete this year. He hasn’t visited recently but wants to get back soon so he can see what system the new offensive coordinator is putting in. Georgia- Crouch thinks Georgia will be hard to beat on the field in the future. He talks to former five-star running back Zamir White and is building a relationship with him. He is helping Crouch work through the recruiting process. Crouch also talks about his relationship with Thomas Davis, who is helping him train.

-Crouch is still deciding whether he wants to play running back or linebacker. He still likes Michigan and talks to Alabama a little bit but he wants to visit those schools more so he can get a better feel for them. Crouch wants to visit Florida and Florida State during his spring break. He will probably visit South Carolina and Clemson too because they are pretty close to home and easy for him to get to. The coaching staff movement has made it hard for Crouch to stay familiar with certain schools and coaches. Crouch is really interested in Notre Dame and wants to learn more about them. He likes the prestige at Notre Dame and the fact that it is a religious school.

RIVALS' REACTION...

Crouch is having a difficult time deciding what he likes and doesn't like about certain schools an coaches. Each time he does an interview it seems like he is less sure about the schools he likes. Tennessee has done a nice job staying on him and they are doing everything they can to make him feel comfortable. South Carolina continues to be one of the schools that reaches out to him the most. Georgia hasn't quite turned up the heat on Crouch yet but his relationship with Zamir White and having Dawgs legend Thomas Davis consistently around him bodes well for Georgia. Crouch should have a busy spring break with visits to Florida and Florida State in the works. Both schools have plenty to show him and they will need to take advantage of their time with him if they hope to be considered serious contenders.

Watch out for Notre Dame. A visit to South Bend could really help the Fighting Irish turn into a serious contender. Notre Dame has shown what they can do with dominant downhill runners and big, athletic linebackers. Michigan and Alabama remain in the conversation but Crouch seems more focused on learning about other schools that have piqued his interest so far. Don't be surprised if Crouch eventually refocuses on these two schools down the line.

Thoughts on Crouch visiting again?

Was something we discussed with him last week. Three Charlotte kids coming in this weekend with Khafre Brown and Tyus Fields. He likes the Vols but he also values winning and that isn’t something TN can sell off last year. They are selling opportunity so ultimately they have to win with that and show progress on the field this fall.

meanwhile let’s shift to someone wright speaks to on occasion and that’s fellow 5-star olb/rb quavaris crouch who will visit tennessee for the second time this spring. He is making the trip with 4-star ath khafre brown. Both north carolina natives are huge priories for the 2019 class. Brown is still in the early stages of his recruitment, while crouch, who we had a number of pieces and nuggets on last week, has no timetable on anything but moving toward cutting his list and focusing on a select group of schools. The vols are firmly in the mix, but need to continue to show how they plan on using the 5-star ath.

If we were to land him, GreysonDawg would report that UGA passed due to “grade problems”. :lol:
