----It may say that but he has Robert Hughes type speed, maybe a little bit faster. I don't go off of hand timed 40's but you can get a good look at his speed by his tapes.

FWIW theres a rumor on the rivals main board started coincidentally by a USC fan that Gray was offered and has committed to ND. Again take this with a grain of salt.

I work with 3 die hard nebraska fans that follow recruiting just as much as I do. So I have had many conversations about Jonas. The reason that he wasn't recruited until late was that nobody truely knew how fast he was. By that time, he wasdown to 2 schools MSU and Neb. His suprising speed is also one of the reasons he is soaring in the prospect rankings.

How does it take schools so long to find out how fats someone is? i think that would be one of the easiest things to evaluate

I had thought he ran a legit sub 4.4 40 at the Columbus Nike combine this summer. So it's not like the nubers haven't been out there for a while.

I remember that as well Goshen because Michigan offered him like the day after that

I don't know, I can't speak for every D-IA school in the country, but after watching Jonas Gray's tapes I have to say he looked like he ran a 4.5 or 4.6 40x. Still good, but not as fast as someone like Kentucky's Derek Locke or USC's Joe McKnight.
