Do I understand correctly that sub 10.5 is world class level? Also....Is that a fucking mullet he is rocking?

OFFER NOWWWWWWWW

Not these days. A 10.20 won't even get you into the NCAA finals and a 10.05 is the qualifying standard for the olympic trials.

Which is nitpicking because a 10.37 is very fast.

Yeah I saw Metcalf ran a 10.37 for olympic qualifyin gand he was last I think. A mullet inhibited LB running 10.37 in HS is pretty damn awesome.

This got me, lol.

 

[Luckylucci]

I'm cool with taking a scholarship or two or three every year and dedicating them to guys that run like this.

I'd say it's world class for high school kids though.

The actual trials don't start for another month. He's probably hitting the circuit trying to get a good enough time to earn a spot in the trials.

Yea, it's in the conversation no doubt about that.

Anthony Schwartz 2017 - 2018 GATORADE NATIONAL BOYS TRACK & FIELD PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Schwartz capped his prep career by beating a 100-meter field that included collegiate runners to capture a national title at June’s USATF Junior Outdoor Championships with a time of 10.23

Now he had run faster times than that but at this meet he won it with a 10.23. 10.37 is in that game.

Interesting. McLaren put a mullet on their Speedtail to reduce drag and hit 250 mph.

 

[Irish#1]

And he should improve that 10.37 with age.

 

[BobbyMac]

Got offered by Bama and Georgia yesterday. He's so fast, they're willing to take a chance on a kid from Hays, KS. This could be a Larry Bird story in 2040

 

[BobbyMac]

BTW... Kanak swapped follows with Taylor and some other staffer In the past week and a half.

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Imagine how fast he would be if he got his ears pinned.

So...RB potentially? I actually like his offensive highlights as much as his defensive, maybe more.

 

[Irish#1]

I think this may be one of those situations where you get him on campus and then decide once you've had time to observe and evaluate him in person.

Committed to Clemson

Lost to Avery Johnson & Maize tonight.

But... Ouch.

That was… pretty incredible

Yeah... I saw that and it brought to mind some old Hershel Walker runs.

Let's not forget, this kid supposedly ran a 10.3 something. He might be the most interesting prospect in the class.

That is some high school beatmode shit right there. Some mean running.

 

[Irishnuke]

I think he was looking to run over some defenders there.

 

[GATTACA!]

Somebody get this kid a bag of skittles.

 

[IRISHMAN]

I think he was looking to run over some defenders there.

that kid trucked 54.5% of the defenders on the field.

Flipped to Oklahoma

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Flipped to Oklahoma

I believe this was the lone verbal commitment but ESP holdout of Clemson's 12 man class. Following Venables I guess.
