    I second this. For football, it’s the first 20, 10, or even 5 yards that count the most. Anything beyond that is mostly just good for deep patterns (and covering deep patterns), returning kicks, and breakaway runs. Hall of fame RB Marcus Allen ran a 4.7 plus 40 yard dash. And he wasn’t that big.

    I’m not against sprinters with great 100m times, but it’s usually of marginal relevance on the field. Of course, the guys with great 100m times often also have great 40 times and a quick burst off the line...

    Bad judgement on academic level because if his abilities and coaching do not get him to a starting level at UT, NFL is likely not happening for him. Then all he has is his education or lack thereof.

    Sad he made that dumb mistake in Georgetown. A couple of years ago he was coaching HS locally and at 30 was going to give it one last try for the NFL. At least he was telling his players, "Do not make a thoughtless stupid mistake like I did."

    I have always thought that it could happen that way even though it was not the likeliest outcome.

    Drayton will be gone to the NFL if true, or everyone else will be throwing duffel bags of money at his assistant if he does not.

    I think you are looking at it backwards

    Yurcich is already paying dividends and he hasn't even called one play yet!!
    The stars are aligning right.

    So you think he is a NFL lock? Not so sure for reasons stated.

    Ever read a book called Meat on the Hoof? Just asking for a friend.
    There he is and a Major Commitment. Of course many fans on HornFans will be disappointed that Herman and Yurcich well be getting 2 year extensions, because .... you know, Herman cannot recruit the 5 Stars in state. :fire::hookem2::fire:

    If TH wins the big 12 a few times no one will be disappointed about a contract extension.

    Well a 5 Star to go along with a bunch of 4 Star QBs is trending up, I would say.

    I meant we eased out of it instead of him looking around on his own

    Oh, I did not catch that. Still, it is not like he is not talented. Oh, the sins of riches.

    Rather ironic the staff was after Ketron then they saw Phaizon.

    Mike Roach says we are going to get another good player to commit soon.
    Possibly over this weekend

    my guess
    LJ Johnson
    And,if so, best recruiting weekend in quite awhile

    Also, rumor is that we changed up our "recruiting style" after the Brockermeyer-bro misses. The new style seems to be working so far

    Charles Talbert is familiar. Sandy Sands I am having trouble recalling.

    They will crap in their boots if we get Wheaton too. But now, why not?

    I thought that lower comment by the aggy was pretty funny
    How is he going to get a ratings bump when he is already #1? Give him a 6th star?

    My Saturday. Chicken wings and refreshing refreshing refreshing. I want to thank all of you who give out information. I'm always lurking and rarely post. This is my favorite site even though I do pay for 247. Pretty sure I'm the originator of "I've seen better on campus", on this site. Then I got banned for a misfired joke and came back several years later. I'll try and become useful again. :bevo:

    Steve Wiltfong with a bit of foreshadowing this morning. He stated, "Have a nice start to the weekend?" My question is how many this weekend.
