SPARQ Scores from The Opening

[IrishLax]

David Perkins 126.78 (#3 LB, #9 overall)
Deontay Greenberry 112.83 (#8 WR)
Justin Ferguson 112.02 (#9 WR)
Tee Shephard 87.33
Mark Harrell 80.82

Some other scores of note...

Nelson Agholor scored a whopping 73.56... which was the worst score for any WR.
Daje' Johnson scored a record 146.52 with strength scores beating many DL/OL to go with a 4.34 40, 4.01 shuttle and 40+ inch vertical
Alex Carter (Stanford commit and ND legacy from VA...) scored 4th overall and was the best safety.
Of all 5 Michigan commits... only one scored above a 90... and that was Anthony Standifer with a 91.77.

For reference Darby, a long time at another camp, scored a 97.05. Really wish he and Keith Marshall were participating in this... but instead they are dominating tack meets in Europe.

Impressive score from Perkins. Little disappointed in Tee's score...is he hurt at all?

Do you have a link by any chance?

Yeah, I can google SPARQ, but what the hell is a "tack meet?" Is that a competition where athletes stick pins on a surface as quickly as they can?

Digress mode: When I hear of all these camps and stuff, I wonder how much the athlete "wants it" as compared to the parents wanting it more. Todd Marinovich from USC comes to mind, as well as athletes from all levels (age 5 to 20) that I have worked with) whose parents somewhat forced the kids into too early a competitive mode. I have met so many athletes that started by age 5, and by their soph or jr year in high school, were completely burned out.

I just spoke to a beautiful stunning former volleyball high school senior who was almost in tears about how her parents forced her to play. Her current mission in life is to rebel against her parents. Get drunk. Do drugs.

Just thinking out loud...

Too funny. I was going to type that, but then I remembered last time I played that game, about a week ago, we used Stickems.

For obvious reasons. Deer lack fingers to hold the tack.

Perkins getting after it on TV right now on ESPNU. ESPN talking heads mentioned something on how the level of competition in practice is much higher under Kelly than Weis and how Perkins is the kind of competitive athlete that should fit the culture (or something... wasn't paying super close attention).

Perkins is going to be a beast. I love the haircut haha. Definitely a solid commit.

Perkins finished #7 in the finals, #2 LB only behind Keith Brown

Nice. So I take it they just do the same tests again? Power throw, 40, Shuttle, Vert, and ...wait, is that it? lol

Just goes to show how wrong one can be at times ... I thought the reference to "tack" meets meant they were competing by either sailing or riding horses. Pin The Tail On The Donkey blew right past me.
