To compare, Bobby Newcombe was 3.8 and Dahran Diedrick was 3.86 21 years ago.

They came out earlier, but are now being Twitter posted.I love that they are back to releasing some testing numbers, but why are these coming out at this time of year?
I do like the way they're making these public and how they're timing it. It's good motivation for the guys to want their name on that list and to have a reason to wanna push themselves in that post-spring letdown.They came out earlier, but are now being Twitter posted.
In the spirit of adding to the negativity, it doesn’t matter how Adrian runs if he can’t do it without fumbling.In the spirit of reacting negatively to all these testing results, I'm choosing to be angry that Adrian *can* run like that but mostly he *doesn't* run like that.
Jesus, how old are you?You people are lucky that these measurables did not exist in my day.
Kids a beast. Stay healthy and kick asswalk ons representing. This should make several people furious.
Did not know Jo Jo was that big. 237.5?
He goes all the way back to the 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi 3 Mississippi daysJesus, how old are you?
What makes you say this?And it appears the player weights are legit, down the half pound. That would be the only way to do it.
So none of this guessing on weight and implying they are inflated.
If they are factoring in height and weight into a performance metric, they have to have accurate heights and weights.What makes you say this?
But they don't have to release accurate infoIf they are factoring in height and weight into a performance metric, they have to have accurate heights and weights.
I assume he's talking about some of the ridiculous numbers listed on the roster.What makes you say this?
depending on quality and quantity and timing of bowel movements.Domann's listed weight on the roster is 230, 237.5 per performance test. Martinez 220 vs. 213, Cam 205 vs. 198, Martin's numbers are the same. Given that these kids are doing immense volumes of training and consuming immense amounts of food, the variance in these numbers is small (0-5%). The average adult's weight fluctuates up to 5 or 6 pounds per day.
But you have to wonder IF they actually were measured in the same way those many years ago.To compare, Bobby Newcombe was 3.8 and Dahran Diedrick was 3.86 21 years ago.
They were in fact measured the same way. I've used the same equipment Zach Duval uses and it's a little more techy than what Boyd had but overall the same. Same program too now as in many years ago. That's why they're doing this.But you have to wonder IF they actually were measured in the same way those many years ago.
My kid's college XC/TF coach had what he called benchmark workouts. Same times of the year, same distances. He can compare times for those workouts going back a number of years. I do not doubt this is the same.But you have to wonder IF they actually were measured in the same way those many years ago.
Confirmed. They are the same.My kid's college XC/TF coach had what he called benchmark workouts. Same times of the year, same distances. He can compare time for that workout going back a number of years. I do not doubt this is the same.
Duval was assistant football strength coach in 2000 when the times for Diedrich and Newcombe posted those times. I would imagine he is doing the same things.
Sheesh, they are "testing" which is a culmination of their winter conditioning. They have records and are competing against others. Do you really think they don't care what a guy weighs when competing for honors? They had weights down to the half pound.What makes you say this?
He's everything you want a kid to be in terms of the way he conducts himself, I desperately hope he can play like a stud and end up a beloved figure.In the spirit of adding to the negativity, it doesn’t matter how Adrian runs if he can’t do it without fumbling.
Now the disclaimer: I still wish him the best. If (since) he’s our starter, I want him to ball out this year and take that big leap forward. These last two years can’t be accepted as meeting the standard.
Makes me curious. Usually you hear of guys wanting to cut weight to gain a weight class advantage, but here is it an advantage to hydrate up and eat a big meal to actually carry a few extra pounds on your score multiplier?Domann's listed weight on the roster is 230, 237.5 per performance test.
