It looks like he may have a little dilithium and he has dreads and wings.

Congrats on the offer Mr. Darby
His

This staff is really doing well but...
I really hope Hoke dont bring back helmet stickers.

The would-be tackler's
The would-be tackler's uniform is awful. White with baby blue wings is an awful combination and an insult to both UNC and Michigan.
Also: how many fakes on the 40?
Seems like not too many
Seems like not too many fakes. The kid ran a 10.55 100 meter and a 6.36 60 meter running track. The 60 is faster than Denard's from last year, when he ran track (6.81).
Avatar is a reference to this. Go Blue!
Is it possible that he ran
Is it possible that he ran that 60 outdoors, without the turn? 6.36 is a hell of a lot faster than Denard, who was the fastest 60m runner at Michigan last year, and ninth in the Big Ten.
I've never seen a 60 ran outdoors, but that's a crazy fast time.
Go Blue!
The 60 indoor is also without
The 60 indoor is also without the turn - just the straightaway. I've never heard of a 60 run outdoors.
If he's all that fast, he should be able to run faster than a 10.55 100m, and he still might. Either way, with all of the track times thrown out for this kid, I doubt the 4.37 or whatever is legit, but probably only one fake out of five.
The post below answered it;
The post below answered it; the crazy time was in the 55m, not the 60. Guess we had a weird track in high school, I wouldn't doubt college is different.
He's still wicked fast.
Go Blue!

Outdoor 100m Times & Football Kids
Often, football players who run track will alter their diets to prepare for Spring Ball or get ready for Football Summer Conditioning & two-a-days, as a result of the increased body mass, they don't run as fast as they could/should. Case in point, my kid ran his fastest 100m/200m times early in the season because, unbeknowest to me, he had been convinced by the Football HC that he was getting 'too small' to play his position and no offers would come his way!! Never mind he was a 6'2", 205 lb MLB who was running 10.7/21.8 for the 100m/200m distances AND finished second at the Florida HS State meet to a kid who eventually won a 4x100m relay gold medal for his home country of Jamaica!!
Just saying......no sour grapes for his TRACK COACH!!
At any rate...let's land this kid!!
Zero fakes on the 40 time

Holy cow. Zero fakes indeed.

So he's four hundredths of a second faster than Denard in the 60, which is significant in track at that distance.
Go Blue!
He's so fast...
He's so fast he went back to the 80s and got helmet stickers.

Thank you.
A RB in this system does not
A RB in this system does not need to be 6'1 295 pounds... look at Ronnie Hillman during Hoke's and Borges's tenure in SDSU... He was the Mountain West freshmen of the year. Also he is a speedster type at 5'10 175 lbs. If this guy can play (and by the look of his offer list, he does) then he will be a great RB in this system regardless of size.
Jahvid Best and Ronnie
Jahvid Best and Ronnie Hillman sucked. Fire Hoke.

why would a michigan fan neg me!!?
"There is a Wolverine in all of us!!"
Many people on here don't
Many people on here don't like when others don't conform to their idea of a proper board post. In someone's opinion your comment was probably an eye roller or something. When I see something I think is rude or disrespectful, I'll neg, but if it's just childish or whatever, I normally don't.
Leaders and Best
hmmmm...
That and with the current "free negs" issue folks are just happy to neg random stuff that would not otherwise merit the neg.

The first rule of negging...
...is don't talk about negging.
Abort, Retry, Fail?

would like to see him leaving everybody in the dust. You can't teach speed. When is he suppose to visit?
Also keep in mind there are
Also keep in mind there are ND fans on this site as well, pepper in a few tools, you get negged. Take it like a man though, no need to worry about it.

Although we probly had a better chance with him with RR's offense in place, he reminds me a lot of Steve Breaston in his highlight reels
That Scott Schrader comment
That Scott Schrader comment called him a CB. So the debate above is about him fitting as a RB in the new offense. If he ends up at UM and can play either RB or CB, with that kind of speed, I'm giddy. I love break away RB's, but CB's with Deion speed are also a crazy good thing to have!
This kid has an amazing offer list.
