he must not have liked to run the 200m because it dosent correlate to his 100 time

Kind of reminds me of the old Bum Phillip's line after Earl Campbell failed finish a 1 mile run. "Next time its 3rd and a mile, I won't give it to Earl". Or something along those lines.

Also, Georgia has been very very good to us in recent years

Exactly all of these Georgia guy's have been great Gophers, hope they keep finding home at the U.

Exactly what I told my coach after the first day of two a days my Soph year when they had us run a mile during testing. I said I am an o-lineman, if it is ever 4th and a mile feel free to sub for me. Yes, I got to run another mile for my smart mouth but it was worth it.

that is state champion fast (at least here in MN)

2019 100m state champion times in MN were 10.71 for AA (Drew Olson from Alexandria with Evan Hull (Northwestern signee second at 10.84. For Class A the winning 100m time was 11.0. It is funny that his 200m time would not have been top ten in either class. But 10.62 100m is serious speed for a football player in a skill position.

That 10.61 was his Sophomore year. His goal this year was 10.4 and the state championship. It will have to wait until his Senior year.

Somehow the state of MN regularly produces NBA caliber basketball players but can rarely produce a skill player in FB with B1G speed. I dont get it...

I looked up Noah Igbinoghene’s high school 100M PR....10.76. I’m sure we all remember what that looks like in the open field.

It looked like we were wearing cement galoshes.

A future punt returner?

A future punt returner?

How good is his fair catch signal?

 

[hungan1]

Agreed. Looks like offers from Virginia, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Indiana

If this is our new diamond in the rough status, we've made a ton of progress!

The ratings site may inadvertently under rank some players as 3-Stars when they should be 4-Stars. My understanding is there are a bunch of number crunchers/analysts who may miss intangibles if they don't augment their data with field/scouting reports. It is an inexact science.

The timing of the rankings may not show recent player improvements until the final rankings at the end of the cycle. This good for the GOphers in finding gems before they become hot.
