How does one determine the best player? Just curious...40 time? Size? Number of stars set by recruiting gurus? I've heard several different opinions (Wright, VanCleave) but no reasoning.

 

We need a thread to discuss. Hate to hijack the game thread.

It would be nice to have a separate thread to compare the two.

Well, I"m not sure how to determine ELITE, probably dont have any 1 player as fast as your guy, cant remember his name, but we have several, i mean several that can break big plays every time they touch the ball, line has very, very good swarming speed.

 

VanCleave was clocked with a 4.28 in the 40 over the summer. That's fast.

Not saying that is accurate or inaccurate, but that would put him in the top 10 all time in NFL combine history.

I'll post the article that talks about it when I get to a computer.

I have no idea what any of Mayfield's players clock at but I doubt anyone clocks that fast, I believe as a team, we will compare above what most 2A teams have.

There’s more than two outstanding players in 2A. That’s why I asked on what basis are we comparing. Not always the biggest fastest kid is the best football player for a high school team.

4.2....I’m highly doubting this but I’m sure the kid is fast. That’s world class speed and as only a high schooler!!!!

Things I don't believe in:

1. Unicorns

2. "I'm just going to have one drink"

3. High school players with sub 4.3 40s.

Mayfield has a 41 game home playoff winning streak. The last team to beat Mayfield at Mayfield in the playoffs ... Danville.

Got to hand it to you, you're on a roll.

Last team to beat Danville in the playoffs, CAL, that Mayfield just beat, has about as much bearing on this upcoming game as Danville's past wins over Mayfield, NONE!

Please do. I’m interested to know how he was clocked.

The Admirals are 13-0, and VanCleave is a big reason why.

 

“I think he’s just improved, he was fast last year, I think he’s probably a step faster this year,” Danville head coach Clay Clevenger said. “He did that because he worked really hard in the weight room in the offseason. He got his body built up in muscle added and he’s got more confidence all the way around.”

 

Over the summer, VanCleave said he ran a laser-timed 4.39 40-yard dash at a football camp at Kentucky. During a hand-timed 40-yard dash at Lindsey Wilson, he ran a 4.28.

 

He said he’s added seven pounds of muscle as well.

 

“I think I’ve gotten a lot faster and a lot stronger,” VanCleave said. “Overall team-wise, I think our bond and our chemistry is just good, and that makes me a better individual player, offensively and defensively.”

Can someone please start another thread about best players? I would but have no idea how to do so.
