Just says Webb is in Nelson's ear trying to get him to reconsider Ohio State, not that he actually is!

Brian Perroni

Andrew Williams 4.90 40 and 4.44 shuttle

Steve Wiltfong

Top100 LB Nyles Morgan says his current top two is Vandy and Ole Miss. Also enjoyed his recent trip to Tennessee. Ran 4.7 at 225 pounds.

Keith Niebuhr
Andrew Williams, 4-star DE, just had a vertical if 36.5 inches

These are estimates by 247 I think, official times will be posted by Nike later

Obviously these are all speculations, but is Hunter a threat to leave at all in reality?

My bad meant Nelson, some reason I was thinking hunter biven.

On topic but somewhat off topic, has anyone read the performance of Bryan Clay during SPARQ testing?

"For football, he tested 130.40. Clay has a vertical leap of 43.5 inches, one of the highest no step vertical jumps in NBA/NFL Combine history. He ran the 30-yard sprint (distance from home plate to first base) faster than Jacoby Ellsbury, one of the fastest major league baseball players and had the same SPARQ rating in baseball as him. Clay performed all tests, and his other ratings were: SOCCER 96.50, BASEBALL 102.00, BASKETBALL 90.00 and ATHLETIC ASSESSMENT 145.00. His basketball SPARQ rating is better than every professional basketball player including Derrick Rose, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade."

Hood's power ball was 42.5 per ISD. Further than Mama and Nelson. That's insane. Longo likes.

 

[STLDomer]

“@TheOpening_2013: Notre Dame bound RB Elijah Hood is new SPARQ leader at 133.47 #TheOpening

 

[Ironman8]

Hood ran a 4.48 per ISD.

Wow.

His 133 Sparq score is the second highest I have seen, behind OSU's Terry McLaurin's 141 (he ran a 4.41 and had a 42-1 vertical).

 

[KPENN]

Hood ran a 4.48 per ISD.

Wow.

 

[STLDomer]

 

[STLDomer]

Hoods score would have been 10th overall last year and the 6th highest person (they do it more than once so a couple have multiple in the Top 10).

Do they factor in the weight into their score? Because obviously running a 4.48 at 220 is different than at 175

 

[NDWorld247]

Speedy Noil's 45.3" vertical is the most impressive number I've seen so far. That's more than 2" higher than the top 2013 NFL combine performer. That's insane.

 

[STLDomer]

“@SBNRecruiting: Oh wow. Speedy Noil jumps 45.3" and runs 4.40!”

The scores this year are insane, Nick Chubb just got north of 140

Noil's score was 153.51, second highest EVER

 

[dwshade]

Speedy Noil's 45.3" vertical is the most impressive number I've seen so far. That's more than 2" higher than the top 2013 NFL combine performer. That's insane.

Maybe Jumpy Noil is now more appropriate.

Congrats to Elijah, that is a great time for how big he is!

 

[Ndaccountant]

Is the rating scale the same as they use for NFL or is it computed differently?

“@jalfieri4: Got the 6th best sparq score in the nation! Top ten players will be testing on espnU from 4-530 #TheOpening”

That means Hood was Top 5 along with Noil, McLaurin, Chubb, & ???

 

[arrowryan]

4.48 is fast but 4.48 at 220 pounds is hauling a$$!! Good luck to anyone trying to tackle that.

Just a little fact, Eddie Lacy ran a 4.44.

I think we have our Eddie Lacy
