Monty Madaris 4.4 40?

Submitted by jbibiza on

According to Chris Balas at Rivals "Madaris ran a 4.4 in the forty at Michigan State on Monday."  He did not look that fast on film but a combine time is more believable than most fake 40's.  Really like this kid... hope we did not come too late to the party.

Even if he runs a 4.6, I still like the kid.  He's very elusive and seems to have good hands .  If the coaches like him after talking with him and his family, then I'm sold.

Still want Burbridge as part of this class.

The MSU 40 times are not accurate. They had just installed new field turf for their indoor facility so times were slower and very inconsistent. They were saying the new turf affected the times by two tenths of a second. MSU was also hand timing versus Michigan’s electronic method. I have to question the legitimacy of some of the times because they timed a lineman at 4.8 which is the same time they clocked two of the fastest track kids in Michigan who are legit 4.4 / 4.5 kids. I clocked the Michigan kids at 4.7 on their first runs and 4.6 on their second. If you deduct the two tenths, it puts them at their normal time of 4.5 / 4.4 times where they have been timed at multiple combines. I’ve coached track for years, so my technique is pretty accurate and consistent for hand timing.
