If the Chiz continues to recruit (over the next 3 years) the current way he is, what team would you compare us to in regards to speed?
eh 40 times are overated.. but when u look at the guys and the speed they have in this class i think the thing that sticks out is their size first then the speed to go along with the size.. seems like in the past all of the fast guys were smaller...
Average is probably being kind, too....63rd ranking is the last I heard.If we had a bunch of huge fast guys, I suspect we'd have a much more highly ranked class.
I know you guys get worked up about recruiting and are all looking for a bunch of positives and whatnot, but thinking that this class is somehow way better than classes we've had in the past is setting yourselves up for disappointment.
It's a solid class, but it's not really any better than most of DMac's classes. It's really a very, very average BCS-caliber class.
I like it when the lineman are running 4.9 40's versus the 5.3 40's we use to bring in. I think the biggest improvement will be increased speed from the trenches. Dan use to bring in alot of very large lineman that weren't very fast. Unfortunately some of these guys never seemed to get any better thtoughout their 4 years. I think we are looking at more athletic lineman now that will grow into teh position in a couple years and hopefully keep the speed.
Jason Carlson: sub 4.3 sec, I like that. I would put him in every aspect of this game WR, occasional DB-safety, and kickoff and punt returns.
