Who's your five fastest players?

[Ronbo]

Guys who actually play, not track guys on the team that don't have football skill. Provide proof in print of their speed, don't just say this guy runs a 4.4 let's see where it's published. And we all know that you add so and so 10ths to these times. That still makes these guys some of the fastest. So if a guy runs a 4.5 it should be 4.7, then that makes the 4.8 guy 5.0, and the 4.3 guy 4.5. The 4.3 guy is still the fastest guy.

Here is the five fastest Griz.

Chris Clark, Starting Corner. 10.54 100 meter.

Here are a few of the offensive 40 times for GSU. Times are from Nike Camps, summer camps, annual team tests, etc. Not sure what some of these guys will play now since the offense is changing, so I won't list a position. One or two of them may move to defense.

Jayson Foster - 4.36
Lionel McGriff - 4.35
Marquis Maynard - 4.38
Lynon Jefferson - 4.37
Chris Covington - 4.38
Ri'Chard Davis - 4.38
Teddy Craft - 4.4
Reggie McCutcheon - 4.4

[Ronbo]

Those are some kind of times. Any place those times are posted in print like a Rivals, Scout, or Team bio? Just trying to keep the bragging real here. :smiley_wi

[straightshooter]

Yep. Rivals if they were listed when they were recruited and in the GSU Media Guide.

Furman had a change in Speed and Conditioning coaches last season. So no actual details in print I can link to. But I will be curious to see 40 times for some of the redshirt freshmen LaFrance, Webb, Williams. That said I do have details on the speed of two commitments.

Adam Mims, 2 star receiver from Birmingham, AL
At UAB Camp 4.47/40, 4.01 shuttle, 6.96 cone drill
At Auburn Camp 4.41/40, 4.11 shuttle, 35 inch vertical jump

Max Lerner, 2 star defensive back from Hoover HS,
#35 ranked player in Bama.
At Nike camp ran a 4.68/40, 4.41 shuttle

40 times are notoriously inaccurate. The NFL Combine, and a few Nike Camps, now use a standardized electronic system. Most camps for high schoolers still have hand timing, and any comparisons are useless. If you've ever been a timer, you know how wide the spread can be for short sprints. Hold one in your right hand, and one in your left, and you'll rarely get the same result. The differences between people can be dramatic.

Track times are the same way, unless recorded electronically.

The only electronic time I know of for the Tribe is freshman WR D.J. McAuley, who ran a 10.50 hundred his Junior year in high school.

The other guy I know is fast is CB Derek Cox. On the video of Steven Cason's KO return TD against New Hampshire, he has left everyone in his dust as he crosses midfield, but at the 25, someone appears, closing fast. It was Derek, and he caught him at the 10. Cason has a listed 40 of 4.37, and was generally regarded as the fastest player on the team.

[Ronbo]

That's why I said above to add 2 tenths. You see if you add 2 tenths to your 4.35 guy and make him a 4.55 guy then he is still faster than your 4.5 guy that goes to 4.7. So either way the fastest guys are the fastest guys. So for conversations sake everyone, you can take everyone's 40 times here and add 2 tenths to them.

I ran a 3.23 to the bathroom this morning

[Umass74]

I agree with Tribe4SF. It's a rare adult male who has a reaction time of <.25 second. And probably most out-of-shape-middle-age-coaches can't break the <.5 sec barrier.

Any hand held time that reports something like 4.37 is bogus.

Even indoors under controlled conditions and timed electronically, run 12 times and you'll get twelve different times.

Even professional scouts are pretty bad at hand-timing. During NFL workouts last year, GSU's Chaz Williams ran a 4.27 and a 4.42 on the same run according to two different guys.

It's sorta like reading the college game programs and your favorite player is a 6-1 225 pd LB------ then looking at the combine reports and he's 5-11 208 :)

Or standing next to him and realizing he is 5'9'' and 195!!!! :rolleyes:

[blackfordpu]

I can't find the times for our players. They are not listed on the player bios.

[HiHiYikas]

The Mountaineer athletic site, goasu.com, doesn't list 40 times. Occasionally, a player will be bio'ed as "one of the fastest players on the squad," as is the case with WR Dexter Jackson.

A Freshman WR, Anthony Cruver, is listed as having lettered in football, baseball, and track as a HS athlete. He stole 48 bases as a HS Sr. and put up PRs of 10.9 in the 100m and 22.0 in the 200m.

Sounds pretty fast...

(I think I could take him if the race was 30,000 meters instead of 100)

For Southeastern Louisiana, our starting tailback, Jerald Watson, has the US record for the fastest 60 meter dash as both a freshman and sophomore in high school at 6.78 (FR) and 6.73 (So.). He also had the fastest high school 100 meter dash time in the country as a freshman at 10.39. I believe he's run as fast 10.2 wind aided and has been electronically timed in the 40 at 4.33. He's gained about 20 pounds since high school and I doubt he runs as fast now but he can still motor at 220 pounds. He was drafted by the Florida Marlins in baseball and played his freshman year at Auburn before transferring to Southeastern La. last year.

I have no idea who our other fastest players are from a documented standpoint but we supposedly have a WR that was hurt last year that is faster than Watson.

If it was like 10 feet to the cooler for an adult beverage that is best when poured from a longnecked brown bottle, I know I could beat him

No offense, but if I was as open as your WRs were my fat a$$ would have scored touchdowns.
