This has been tried 2 times before and has been thread-jacked twice. Please stay on topic. If you have issues use PM or the KHSAA!

 

The topic here is Jeff Naegli. He will be a Junior next year for the Rocks. I love this kid. He is a very hard worker. He dedicates a lot of time in the off-season to conditioning. I had the pleaseure of coaching this kid way back in 4th grade Flag and in basketball. He is a coach's dream. I also loved watching this kid's intensity on the 8th grade team. He was about 10-15 lbs overweight to run the ball on that team. He was a fierce LB.

 

I heard a rumor today from some of his friends that he has lowered his 40-time to 4.4. Does anyone know if this is true? It is very scary if it is....that kind of speed combined with his strength and aggressive style will not be fun for Rock opponents.

 

I will be at more Rock games this year to see Jeff and a couple of others that I know.....I will not be sporting Trinity clothing though!... :D

As a fan in the stands, Naegli appears to be a good RB. It sounds like from others, he will be pushed by other RB's that are in the system. Hard work normally pays off. X-man, Trinity clothing isn't all that bad!!!

I hate to hear the bench reference as it doesn't mean anything.

No 18-year-old running back is moving the pile with his arms... What does he squat?

I respectfully disagree. While just part of a person's total strength, it says a lot about upper body strength and conditioning.

His squat stats are also important but they don't mean much if you can't hold on to the ball when you're hit. You need them both in my humble opinion.

Benching does nothing to help you pull the ball in.

If you are trying to tell me that upper body strength means nothing when pulling the ball in or taking a hit, I disagree. I would rather be able to bench 250 than 150. It's part of the total package. Upper and lower body strength matter. Just my opinion.

Sure upper body strength matters, but close your eyes and imagine trying to hold on to the football, and then imagine doing a rep on the bench. Different muscles involved. Good bench reps are nice, but not nearly as important as others for a high school player.
