UT WR Speed

[orangeluvr]

Believe it or not, I think Blanc is the fastest WR from something I read earlier.

He's pretty fly for a white guy ! :birgits_giggle:

 

[Thump]

I'm not the one that did the study. Just relaying the information, chief.

Laser times are slower... Calm down, Chief...

 

[hndog609]

It would not appear we've got any true "burners" in the classic sense with this group but we've got some good athletes. Speed is a distant concern with me behind "getting them the ball accurately" and "making the catch".

If Butch could just get Raijon to run to daylight rather than for a rabbit hole....

Agreed. The first time I saw Raijon's HS film, I was like DANG, THIS GUY RUNS SMOKIN' FAST!!! Now I'm like DANG, THIS GUY GOES DOWN SMOKIN' FAST.

Laser times are slower... Calm down, Chief...

Correct. Lots of the camps these kids go to that report 40s are laser timed like the combine. Doesn't change the validity of what I previously said.

 

[Biopsyman]

My guess would be that Devrin is the fastest

But has shown a tendency to get tackled by the grass

That's hard to believe

Devrin does not seem that fast, he is always going east to west instead of north to south.

A properly punctuated pedigo post..(hell currently freezing)

 

[utvolz98]

Thought I saw where North was one of the fastest players on the team. My guess would be North, then Blanc, then Devrin, then Pig.

Pig's the slot man. He just needs to be the toughest and I think he just might be.

The accuracy of published 40 times for recruits varies wildly. Most are hand timed... which means they are also likely skewed.

It's the gopher from caddy shack bro

 

[GrowVol]

We're in for treat. North is that fast as a freshman.look out

Hes fast but he wasnt meant to be an SEC RB

 

[Big Sal Stuntin 7]

Put it this way. We have no Cordarrelle Patterson on this team. Wish we did though.

Maybe a Tavon Austin though

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Pig better catch the ball if he wants to be in the slot. He has dropped the ball a lot last year and in practice this year. Need to get some glue on those fingers.

We might have someone better.

Just heard Hyams talking about North on 1045 the Zone in Nashville. Described him as similar to Da'Rick and said.....wait for it.... "He doesn't have great speed" .............. Huh? 4.41 isn't great speed?

I know.... consider the source.

 

[sjt18]

Does North have any published track times?

 

[sjt18]

That's hard to believe

Why? IIRC, Blanc was a good track athlete.

 

[hndog609]

Why? IIRC, Blanc was a good track athlete.

At a glance the fastest 100m for North and Blanc I found is 10.99 & 11.03 respectively. Fast but not burners.

To put it in perspective IIRC a 10.99 was also Justin Hunters PR.

 

[DD4ME]

Experience and consistency with technique and catching beats speed all day. Jerry Rice was considered to have marginal speed.

 

[DD4ME]

Our recievers have the neccessary physical tools time to get them up to speed mentally and with experience.
