You're correct...they should be very fast & quick! I'd love to see the times for Ollie Head and Clint Crawford also!

Yes Scooter will be an upcoming Senior and he will be with Conner this year.

That is great news ... I am glad to hear that things have changed in the past few weeks. He could definitely be a difference maker.

Collinsworth ran a 4.65 at the Underarmour Combine. Regardless of that time, he is a very good corner.

 

Here are some results if you want to check it out:

To assume that a player runs a 4.3 or even a 4.4, would be unfair to the kid. It sets unreasonable expectations and basically sets him up to fail when he is timed by a college or combine.

 

To put it in perspective, at the under armour combine in Cincy May 18th, there was one sub-4.4 forty out of 200 or so runners. In the Nation at this combine, there are only 14 sub-4.4 out of thousands of kids.

Thanks a ton for the link.:thumb:

Lincoln Adams ran the 40 in 4.3 seconds.

Even if he runs 4.3 (which he doesn't) ... you need to add the hand time conversion which is .24 .. which puts him at 4.54.

 

Also .. I know for a fact that he doesn't run 4.5.

In track .. his best 100 time was 11.24 (which was hand timed).

Guys who run 4.5's are easily breaking into the 10's in the 100 Meter Dash.

 

I am not real sure why people try to inflate these times ... it doesn't do anything but set the kids up for a lot of false hype.

 

That is not necessarily true, what if he is just very fast during his first 40 or 45 yards?

Ok:lol:

Pretty simple answer .. without getting too technical ...

When you are running track ... like Lincoln did .. you don't train to run fast for 40 yards. Lincoln ran the 100. He trained to run the 100.

 

If you want to know the mechanics and specifics ... come down to the track tomorrow ... and I will explain it to you (if you still go to Conner .. that shouldn't be too hard .. and you were probably out there today).

 

4.3 would put him in the top 5% of the fastest people in this country. After all the years I have spent around track ... I am extremely confident that Lincoln has never ran a true 4.3 .. or even something in the neighborhood. (Meaning within .25 either way).

Lincoln's fastest 100 meters was a 10.9. And yes he ran his 40 in 4.34 seconds.

Lincoln's fastest documented time in the state of Kentucky was 11.30 (hand timed--which equates to a 11.54 with FAT timing). That happened when he was a junior ... not a senior. Here is the link:

Also .. as a track coach in NKY ... I can guarantee you that everyone up here would have known about a 10.90. It would have been all over the place.

 

Now ... to bring things closer to topic ... and to take names out of the equation ... if ANY kid in KY runs a 4.34 or even close .. he will receive major attention from colleges. Even if they are not great players. Coaches can teach technique. They can not teach speed. Plain and simple. Lincoln was tall enough (even though he was a little skinny) to have a potentially good frame for college ball. A 4.34 would have gotten him to the big time quickly.

 

Also--this sounds like a shot at Lincoln .. it isn't. I have enjoyed my conversations with Lincoln. I wish him nothing but the best.

Qucikslick is dead on.

 

Jayce Jordan ran a 4.54 hand timed 40 at Tekulve Acceleration the spring of his sophomore year. He also had a sub 11 hand timed 100. He consistently beat Scooter in the running events at football practice that summer before his knee injury. I do not want to demean Scooter in anyway. He is a great kid with a hard working attitude and deserves all the praise he gets, but he was not the faster of the two at that time.

 

Jayce was 5' 11" and 152 then and is now 6' 178. Despite his knee injury a number of colleges have shown some interest because of his size and former speed. They want to see him at their camps this summer to see if he has retained or imporved on the speed with his new size and weight. You really need both.

 

His re-hab is now going very well and it should be interesting for opposing teams having both of them on the field at the same time. Can he return to his all conference 7 interceptions form he showed as a sophomore? Who really is the fastest now? I look for them to encourage and push each other to even faster times.

Miles Simpson, will be a top 5 player in the NKY for the next two years. He is probably the fastest player in the NKY.

 

Miles Simpson is a great athlete and a pretty fast kid. He should have a great year, depending on their O Lines ability to block for him. All of this talk about fastest players in NKY and no talk about Connor Brock from DHHS. He is easily top three is speed in NKY. He ran track and recieved a 10.8 hand-times 100. Officially his fastest time was a 11.1, I believe. Him and Doucet were the fastest football players that I saw this year, and I believe Doucet was a Senior. As far as all this talk about potential to become a Dl prospect, Miles Simpson has the attributes and speed to succeed in the next level.

If Jayce is working with "Rocky" (Tekulve) his speed should return. Rocky does a great job with his acceleration training program and building both speed and strength. He was my trainer when I tore my ACL and MCL many many years ago and had me back to normal faster than scheduled.

Yeah, Rocky does a great job.
