recruiting track stars
Im curious who the last dominant sprinter/hurdler michigan recruited was. I cant think of one. I know sometimes they translate on the field and sometimes they dont.
Long story short, theres a FRESHAMN here in WA that ran a 10.54 100m yesterday to win state. For reference-roughly a 10.2 woldve put you in the NCAA mens 100m finals.
Thats second fastest in the country for his grade.

Jabril ran a 10.52 as a senior.
Denard ran a 10.28 in college
i was simply pointing out times for comaprison.
Denard never ran a 100 in college, he only ran the 60 dash indoor
That Denard guy was a decent runner as well.
this was always my concern. Guys like denard had first and second gear speed.
yeah was gonna mention drake and denard. in terms of dominance in both high school and college, i know wheatley fared pretty well in both
Chesson won the state 100 and 300 hurdles and was second in the 110 hurdles by .01 second.
Western Australia?
Not saying we would have gotten him, but he dropped us because Hoke wouldn't let his freshmen run track.
I think Jordan Glasgow ran back that pick 6 in the spring game in about 17.6 if that counts...
If we start recruiting guys just because they're fast, then I will be concerned. Not sure what the point of this thread even is. Who says that track star at Washington is going to be worth anything? Why do we think Michigan needs more track/hurdle stars? I'm not following...
