I think around a 4.6 fourty

 

[Old Man Mike]

I don't. But what that spectacular video showed were fantastic instincts/anticipation --- more important in a strong safety, methinks. Badger is "Mr. Slobberknocker" who WILL arrive with violence and bad intentions.

Definitely! I care about 40 time in a SS little compared to instincts.

If Chris improves his speed, it's all good. You never know with reported times; For the longest time Justin Ferguson was reported at a 4.8 forty, with his current true time being closer to a 4.45. And I don't hang everything on a forty either. But you have to be fast enough to get there. The last two years, while a work in process, we were basically fast enough to get there. Before that, not so much.

As long as a safety, especially a SS, runs around a 4.65 and has good instincts I'm good with that.

Who knows.. maybe he knows of some commits that we don't know about yet and released that as a mistake.

so...you're saying we have 3 silent commits? Highly unlikely at this point.

Quote from Chris from BGI:

“I can’t wait,” Badger said. “I’ve got a lot of pent up football energy. I feel bad for the first person that has to do hitting drills with me.”

Comments from BYU S&C coach Jay Omer who has trained hundreds of Mormon athletes returning from mission (BGI):

"..regaining flexibility is always the hardest step toward getting back to playing shape. Strength and power usually return easily, followed by explosiveness and eventually flexibility. "

Omer warned that his players are often a little too zealous when they return from the longest football hiatus of their lives. He said most feel invincible until they hit a wall when the extra work starts to catch up with them after about six weeks. The setbacks can be a big challenge for some players.

The comments from the BYU coach are sound reporting. I hope the ND staff reads that article and takes action accordingly. They have no point of reference in South Bend.

He actually pissed in your cheerios? Wow!

Fascinating stuff from that BYU coach. One thing Chris did say is that one of the things he emphasized during his mission training was flexibility, so hopefully he won't have as far to go as most kids returning from missions. It's a little disappointing to hear that it really takes a full year, regardless of what the students think, to return to peak football shape, but it's not like we need to Badger to come in and start right away anyway.

[beryirish]

Pretty awesome having these guys come watch you practice

 

[IHateMarkMay]

I wonder if Doug Flutie kept his rejection letter from ND.


(from the joke, "what is the difference between an ND student and a BC student? A Notre Dame rejection letter.")

It's what I refer to BYU as 90% of the time.
