I ran in the 4.4's as well in college. Not too long ago so I would bet I could still run a 4.5. One time at a camp they had half the campers run the 40 on a saturday then the other half on a sunday. I was the saturday half and they had us running slightly up hill. You couldn't see it that well from the naked eye but you could tell running. A couple of us ran 4.6 flats which was the fastest time on Saturday. On Sunday they ran the opposite way, so downhill. Guys were running in the 4.3's. Because of time we couldn't re run the 1st group. I was so pissed becaues running was obviously a big part of my game. Still played big 10 D1 sports but at the time you're fighting for scholarship offers at the camps.

I don't put much stock in 40 times. For example, Darius Walker was listed at 4.4 in HS, and only clocked around 4.55-4.6 at the combine. 10.8 100m is fast though. I also remember hearing that Zibby ran a 10.4 100m in HS. And he doesn't "look" really fast.

Please don't discredit me as you don't see me doing it to you.

In no way was I discrediting you, I was simply asking if it was a "real" 40 time or not. Either way is still fast, but one is DANG fast. Hand time 40 times are just a completely different animal than electronic timed ones. I mean, in HS I had to run a 40 over because coach thought I did it too fast! Not only does your thumb take about 0.3 seconds to start the time, but coaches always have to "anticipate" the finish.

Now running 4.45 is very fast, even in hand-timed, but not amazing speed for the college level. While electronic 4.45 speed is right up there with an olympic-ish level. I was just asking for clarification, not for discrediting. I'm sorry if you felt offended, such was not my intent

DEKALB 20 BISHOP DWENGER 52

John had a good game. He had 2 td passes and a 54 yard td run that was www.wane.com's high school play of the week.

I went to high school with Johnny. He's an incredible athlete. I've never seen anyone play like he does...well...actually...let's just say the Smardjiza comparison is pretty dead on. He's such a versatile player and works really well under stress. He's gonna be a great addition to ND's team next year...maybe he'll be the key we need to win a damn game...Plus he's a really nice guy...

As a classmate of Johnny's, THANK GOD you are coming to ND!!!

(Plus it doesn't hurt he's cute!)
