'12 WA RB Keivarae Russell (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Irishtat]

Just to clarify, 3'6" = 3.5 feet. Still amazing

Which is a 42 inch vertical jump = teabagger

 

[woolybug25]

I'm pretty sure it said his vertical is 38 inches, which is 3 feet 2inches, still great but not 3 feet 8 inches haha

I didn't read the article. I was just going off of Lax's comment. I assumed it was subscription, but apparently not.

Just to clarify, 3'6" = 3.5 feet. Still amazing

I'm glad my typo, instead of all of the info on here, is what got you to make your first post. Only on IE...

 

[MNIrish14]

The article says he has a 38.1 inch vertical...not 3.5 feet but still impressive

 

[IrishLax]

LOL I have no idea how I took 3'6" from that article. Must have misread. Sigh.... please don't tell anyone at my structural engineering firm that I just somehow equated 38 inches to 3.5 feet..... I'm pretty sure that is grounds for firing on the spot.....

3'2" is still pretty good though haha

 

[BGIF]

Since we're clarifying, vertical leaps are measured in inches not feet. 40 inch standing leaps are considered NBA "Air Worthy". At 38 inches Russell is still better the NBA average of 28.

Looks like a promising young guy. I agree with everyone the fact that he definitely needs to pack on a few pounds before he's playing D1 football, but overall he's got the speed you can't teach. I liked his field vision on some of those long runs that he was able to keep the patience to wait for an opening across field.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I believe that Davaris Daniels has a +40" vertical.

3.8 Shuttle? The best shuttle at the NFL pro combine is 3.81.

The linked article makes me excited. When I read about his balance, agility, and ability to make multiple cuts I kept think about Barry Sanders Sr type moves. The comparisons to Reggie Bush aren't bad either.

Coach D said last night that's has Russell higher on his board then Davonte Neal and its not that Neal is overrated by other sites it's just that he think Keivarae is that good. Said his style of play reminds him of Reggie Bush.

He's Reggie bush without the second gear.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Not that Neal is overrated--he isn't. It is that Keivarae is underrated.

I love it, denfinately a dark horse stud IMO.

I really like it since he is from Washington too.

 

[NDPhilly]

Reggie Bush ran a 4.35 or something like that at the combine. I know Keivarae has elite quickness but does anyone know his 40 time. I thought it was like 4.6 or something like that.

Love our coaches. Completely disagree with coach D. Neal is electric.

You just proved my point..... the only thing engineers are good for is driving trains.....lol

I was in the construction business for years and thats what we used to say to our engineers when they made errors on prints.

It's cool Lax we know you put in your work here and we all support what you do.
Thanks from all of us at I.E. (even the knew guy)

He runs in the 4.5s.

 

[koonja]

He runs in the 4.5s.

Not sure about that. At the all-star game he was in out west he never ran 4.6 or lower.

 

[NDPhilly]

Per ESPN he runs a 4.55. They use their 40 times from actual combines so that should be accurate.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Not sure about that. At the all-star game he was in out west he never ran 4.6 or lower.

Nike SPARQ time 4.55
4.22 shuttle

 

[IrishLax]

Ran 4.55 at The Opening which was fully automatic timing.

You are correct.

I was under the impression that no ND players ran better than 4.6, but Russell was the one exception.

 

[NDPhilly]

Agholor ran a 4.59 at that event and only had a 4.56 shuttle. Maby he was sick?

 

[Kansas Irish]

He just sent in his LOI

 

[rtrn2glory]

glad to have...looking forward to BK's description of the day and where it went wrong/right.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Let's get him switched over, too. Then I can put this day and this whole recruiting cycle to bed in my mind. Happy with what he got. Disappointed in what we "lost". Need a better showing on the football field going forward. Hopefully that starts in Ireland in September.

 

[connor_in]

He just sent in his LOI

MODS...Can we chg verbal to LOI sent or something

 

[Irish Fam]

Reminds me of Reggie Bush

 

[phgreek]

Reminds me of Reggie Bush

actually I was just watching his film...

his feet, gait, lean...over all look...the first back that came to my mind...especially when he bounces outside...Emmitt Smith

 

[Ironman8]

My first thought was Arian Foster.

 

[phgreek]

My first thought was Arian Foster.

I see that...too

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I was thinking more Prince Amukamara
