High school is still listed as in Canada?  I thought he transferred to the US?  Also, it seems like they include every player who came to an Opening regional combine to calculate the percentiles, which probably includes a lot of average athletes.  I would guess just about everyone at The Opening in Oregon is in the top few percentiles.

That is a CRAZY agility score at 6'3". This guy could be a really good corner for us, especially with all the supplementory help Harbaugh has recruited in the secondary alongside him.

Hey Monkey House

What's your earliest sports memory?  I know there's another thread on that topic right now but I'd rather hear it from you here.  I was thinking Super Bowls in general and the Redskins in particular.  Do you have memories of Redskin Super Bowls you'd like to share?  How about a specific play from a specific Redskins Super Bowl if you don't mind too much.  That would be amazing.

And can you post it twice?  Just in case I miss it the first time.

Thanks

The shuttle is 20 yard shuttle at the combine, the 3 cone drill is something different. BSJ's time would have ranked .01 of a second behind FS Justin Simmons of BC good for 2nd overall at this past combine. I'm very interested to see how Don Brown uses him in his career at Michigan.

4.58 is a great time for a corner that is  6'3".  The really impressive thing though is the 3.86 shuttle for someone that is 6'3", that is a really good.

It is now impossible for Harbaugh to sign anyone less than a 4-star.  Whoever he signs will get bumped up to at least a 4-star, no matter where they started.

He could sign my Grandmother and she'd be a 4-star. And she can only run 5.5 in the Forty.  Hours.

So I found this:

"Finally, the players are tested in the vertical jump. Player’s weights and heights are figured in to the test, which measures an athlete’s peak power. To perform the jump, a player crouches with their arms behind them to help the maximize their power. Instead of jumping and reaching for a certain point, however, SPARQ developed a launching/landing pad that times how long a player is in the air, and uses that information to calculate their jump. The average jump in 2013 was 27 feet, 3 inches."

And so Nike is basically having them jump straight up and pretending it's a broad jump? The world record broad jump is 15 feet less than that. Their average is only slightly less than the world record LONG jump. So basically that power number is 100% certifiably bogus...

Olympic lifters output approximately 2000 watts peak during the snatch.

Usain Bolt hit 2600 watts in the 100m when he set the world record.

Nike is basically lying to these kids about physics and I for one, am outraged!
