'12 AZ WR Davonte Neal (Arizona Transfer)

[woolybug25]

If we are talking about the class in general, I think our class has SEC speed all over.

If Darby isn't in the "amazing speed" category, then it doesn't exist in this class.

As far as Neal... he could play for any team in the country with his speed.

Truth.

IMO this kid reminds me a lot of Dexter McCluster

Atkinson ran a 10.59 100m and a 21.3 200m as a sophomore which, pe this website, is as fast as Darby. I'd call that amazing speed.

George Atkinson - Track and Field Profile

Ronald Darby - Track and Field Profile

 

[NDPhilly]

I think Atkinson runs like a 4.45 but wouldn't be surprised if it was 4.5 because he takes a while to get going full speed.

Boom

 

[NYMIKE6]

That would be a race worth watching, depending on distance i can see Darby with the early lead but GAIII long stride catch up in a hurry.

The best part.... They'll both be wearing Blue and Gold

 

[AllGoldEverything]

This kid is my favorite recruit left in this class. His speed matches those in the SEC.

I think he will end up being Irish.

 

[NDPhilly]

I think it's more his acceleration that his actual speed, Dare I say quicker than fast. I expect him to run like a 4.45. Agholor though probably like a high 4.3 like 4.38 or something close to that. Neal breaks more tackles though.

I though Darby was the fastest recruit with a 4.37?

I mean I could be wrong, just checking

Darby ran a 4.31 at a camp in the spring I believe. Best at the cap by like .08

Bracy ran a 4.39 at the combine where Darby ran his 4.31. Bract is like Neals height but can't break tackles.

 

[Carlyle Javar Holiday]

Bracy is the fastest high school kid in America. Period. Who runs better than a 10.05 in high school besides Demps?

I agree that in the 100 he would beat Darby but I don't think he accelerates like Darby and that's why he has a lower 40

 

[Carlyle Javar Holiday]

I would say they are about equal in 40 times. Darby had a personal best of 4.31 and Bracy ran a 4.32 in FLA. Darby has a lot more size which is why he is probably gonna be the better football player. A better measure of actual football quickness and speed is the shuttle. The 40yd dash was basically a punt coverage drill that got more and more popular.

At the same camp Darby had a 4.28 shuttle while Bracy had a 4.50. Darby also had a 38 inch vert which is equivalent to Pat Peterson, Prince Amukamara, and Darelle Revis.

Ok stop. I'm wearing gym shorts and I have to get up from the desk soon.

Since this conversation has now spanned two pages of Neal's thread, maybe we should take this discussion of team speed to a new thread?

Agreed, we should be respectful of Davonte's thread.

You starting the new thread?

We shall see if God also has a plan for him at OSU like he does for Spence.

Here's hoping not.

Neal has gotten to be one of my favorite recruits in this class.

Reminds me of Darren Sproles a lot

imo, he will drink the Urban kool-aid and give his pledge that weekend to OSU.

Huge hetero-mancrush for Neal
