And 5 star Shelton Sampson also. Coach Kelly has got to wake up every day and pinch himself. He did get a few elite players at Notre Dame but the amount of elite talent he gets at LSU is insane. Now go win us another natty.

I posted earlier Watkins has the 5th fastest 200m in Texas HS history. Here are the 4 guys ahead of him.

Roy Martin- 1988 Olympian
Connor Washington- current all American and Arkansas
Henry Neal- held the 100m national record for 20 years
Jeremy Wariner- 3 time gold medalist

I know it doesn't work like this because of acceleration, but it extrapolates to sub 4.2.

Holiday's best time in the 100m in High-school was 10.43... this kid is faster as a
junior... he will go sub 10 sec after a few years of training at LSU.

Also, is this the fastest 100m ever for a high school kid coming to LSU?

Somebody more knowledgeable could answer but I've always thought Xavier Carter was the fastest Tiger ball player ever. I just checked and his junior times are faster than Xavier's AND his senior year. wtf

Carter and Bennie Brazell are probably the best comps, speed wise. But Bennie was more of a 400m runner.

Jelani is no longer at KF. He transferred transferred to another high school over the summer. KF’s relay teams have taken a big hit w/him leaving, and another leg of the relay that graduated.

If you look at his hudl and the way he takes a crossing route is nuts.

Thus is an underrated pickup.

I wouldn't want to be in that lsu receiver room the next few yrs.

Ballers galore

He’s pretty highly thought of. Hard to say he’s underrated as a pickup

Holiday ran around a 10 flat. He's not there yet.

Yes but he's already ran faster in hs and still has another year.
He'll be the fastest guy on the team when he gets to BR.
