It would be like if you took a top track athlete in the nation and had him play football his senior year and say I wouldn't guarantee Pope has better catching skills RIGHT NOW then the new kid. Of course there is a very tiny chance that schwartz just sucks on the blocks for whatever reason and pope somehow mastered it in a few months, but I would bet against it. I would bet a large sum of money on that. How many kids do you see come in first year and be great out of the blocks. It is VERY unlikely that a kid who has been doing track his whole life is worse at using blocks then some guy who just started this year. In the NCAA championship there where attempts at WR(atleast 1 WR was broked for the freshman) which is why they where used and the first line of the CA article states that two sisters where going for WR. He’ll serve Miami better as a receiver than Schwartz will at Auburn, imo. And, if you are talking about reaction time, then you should know it’s the least important part of a 100m race (within reason).Īgain, Pope’s not Schwartz.and I’m glad he’s not. Now, if you’re talking about reaction time, that’s different, but reaction time isn’t normally measured in high school meets. Splits wouldn’t tell you if the blocks are being used efficiently.
Not without watching Pope start (which I’ve never seen). It’s possible, though admittedly not likely, that Pope uses the blocks better than Schwartz. The failure rate was also higher back then so there were always back-up hand times.
Golden South, Great Southwest, Golden West, Keebler, NCAA’s.these are not Olympics and often times there was zero chance a WR would be broken, these were high school and college meets. FAT was used in high school state meets and invitationals during the early 80’s. I’d take Pope, Wiggins, Ezzard and Hightower over Schwartz.
The 4.2x Guys are a threat but rare to see them take over a game on the P5, National Championship level teams. Guys catching the most balls on teams that fling it the most tend to be missed three stars or slower 4 stars. And I’d take that over a 4.2-something Schwartz who hasn’t significantly progressed in his route running and football IQ.Īnd for the poster who said Schwartz kind of speed kills in college game.I don’t see it. FAT has been around a LOT longer than you implied īut getting back to Pope.he should combine test in 3-4 years in 4.40 - 4.52, maybe SLIGHTLY faster. 10.1x, never 10.1 - because the latter is a hand timing expression )ģ. When I can’t remember the exact hundredth, I use an “x”. 24 in races less than 400m must be added (.14 if 400m or longer.) I’m the type of track fan who would NEVER represent a hand time as an electronic one. (Which leads to all the football confusion) To convert a hand time it must be rounded up to the nearest tenth, then. For track, hand times are NEVER to be expressed to the 100th. What makes you think that the times I posted for Walker, Smith, and Jackson are hand times?. I don’t doubt he could’ve run sub-10.60Ģ. Fournette should’ve definitely qualified being that I was commenting more on size (220lbs+) than the when: High School or College.
