Having a son that plays for Parkview, I've watched Brad punt all year long and have really been amazed. We talked to an Alabama scout at a Parkview playoff game a few weeks back that was watching Brad warm up on the baseball field. He said he couldn't really judge the distance from where he sat but on 7 punts his hang time ranged between 4.8 & 5.2 seconds. He is a great pick up for LSU.
Thanks for the good wishes guys. Orrin works hard, is focused and driven, how ever fast or slow he may be. If the door at LSU doesn't open for some reason then another one will and some coach will be damn glad and damn lucky to have him. But that's just my opinion, I might be a little biased! LOL
I do understand Cadello but I couldn't let it go without setting the record straight and standing up for my son. I might have been a little PO'd when I wrote that last reply and I want to post all the facts so somebody doesn't come back and accuse me of hiding things. Orrin ran 4.68 at NUC in Dutchtown last Feb. & 4.81 at NUC in Atlanta last June, both hand timed. Those are the only actual times that I have first hand knowledge of. I see your from Eunice Cadello, you and I have probably tread alot of the same ground, I grew up in Ville Platte. Spent alot of Thursday nights in Eunice at the Purple Peacock! LOL!
I'm posting just to set the record straight and no, I'm not Orrin Fontenot, I'm his dad. If you look back on DD's interview with Orrin, you'll see that he had the correct stats on Orrin, 6'2, 230 lbs and 4.68 sec 40yd dash. He ran 4.68 hand timed on the track at NUC combine last year and ran 4.71 hand timed at LSU football camp last summer at the indoor practice field. Someone later in the thread wrote that Orrin ran a 4.66 at the Army Combine which is a mistake because he was did not attend the Army combine but I do appreciate him taking up for my son. The stats that I listed are the facts for what they are worth. I don't know why DD's numbers changed from the interviews to the listings that he had. I agree that alot of stats you see on kids are hyped and that DD's numbers are confusing but for "peopleschamp" to pick out an individual (Orrin) and say that he is another example of hyped 40 times and insinuate that my son lied about his 40 time is irresponsible and pretty cheap on his part. He made an assumption about my son and used his name without checking the facts for himself. If you want to make the blanket statement that alot of stats and times are hyped, I'm all for it and would agree with you but don't grab one particular persons name and stats and say that they lied with out checking first! Maybe "peopleschoice" should do some facting finding of his own before he criticizes a kid who didn't do anything wrong!
