Nah. I had 2 cancellations this morning so I'm good until about 1. You? You obviously aren't setting the physics world on fire.

If White can even cover a little bit he'll be on the field a ton. Miles and Aranda have both already said he'll be on the field at LB against Wisconsin. Our LB line up could be Beckwith and White inside with Key and Bower coming off the edges. That's some serious speed coming from all angles.

Im not sold on Bower being able to drop into coverage. Im not saying he cant do it its just we all know KB,Key, and White are athletic enough to run with te and rbs while we dont know if Bower can. Whats he listed at weight wise?

He's pretty damn athletic.

He's listed at 6'5" 240, but I think he's probably 6'4" and a bit heavier than 240.

Bower was specifically mentioned by Aranda. He's every bit as athletic as Key.

Great. Our lb corp should be a strength then. Maybe the best since James and Faulk if Key takes the next step and White has an immediate impact.

It certainly has the potential. The big problem is a lot of these kids will be doing something they've never had to do in covering TEs and RBs out of the backfield.

For some reason i though he was heavier than that. I think i was getting Bower and Neal mixed up.

Im just glad we have Aranda this year. Last year steele had our secondary ranked 80th in opponents pass completions per game and 57th in opponents passing yards per game. I just dont know how long we can keep him. If we have the season we all hope for and our defense is lights out after being average last year, other programs will be offering him a head coaching position.

He was playing closer to 260 last year, he might have cut weight for the position change though

You think if he had been just a lb he is a 5 star? Not that it matters but his speed is unheard of at his size and its mind-blowing that someone that physically gifted would be a 4 star.

Well a kid can get lucky and run his best time of his life once and I think that's what happened here. He's actually a 4.5 / 4.55 consistent runner so that's why he was a 4* he can't do it everytime but did he do it once or twice. I can see it happening, is he going to do it everytime no.

Not sure, but judging from the fact that he joined in May, has a few dozen posts but knows about ban bets, the inner workings of the TD community and his post history screams alter. It's pretty easy to tell.

So yeah, ban bets don't mean much to him, as I'm sure he's got a half dozen accounts.

I don't know if anyone already said this or not, (only read up to page 2) but it is not uncommon for a player to actually be faster coming out of high school than 4 years later. Most players are a lot lighter coming out of high school than after 4 years in the strength program.

And their highschool times are wildly exaggerated. Its seems i wrong in thinking White's time was. He has legot track times that arent bullshite.
A lot of these camps use handstart laser stop and try to pass it off as laser timed. This isnt the case in White's case. I was wrong. It may have been his best time ever but he ran it.

I just never understood what the nfl combine had to do with it. He's 3 years from that and will likely be slower due to conditioning, may even gain a few.

He's a fast freak of nature right now...I like it.
