Chris Johnson, Jr. commits to Canes.. and is Elite Level FAST!

[HurricaneinLA]

Please update the thread title to reflect the fact that this kid is not hurt, didn’t flake out, isn’t joining Deion Sanders cult at the last minute etc

He’s just really friggin fast

Faster than Deion HS time. Deion was a 10.2 at college.

But but we didn’t get the portal guys……

 

[skeeter]

His 100m is faster than the OG Chris johnson who was 10.38

:25 second mark ^^...LOL

Sick burn dude. Thanks for this stellar contribution.

 

[grover]

I'm just imagining Johnson, Harrell and Ray Ray on the field at the same time.

 

[htownkidd]

Is he a KR candidate? If not, he needs to be.

 

[RVACane]

I can’t wait to see Dawson get him in space.

I can’t wait to see Dawson get him in space.

I think this kid will be an impact player from day 1.

This!!!

I can't wait to see how creative Dawson gets with the talent we have. The ACC isn't exactly 'murderers row'. We should have a talent advantage is most games. I legitimately can't wait to see what he cooks up

10.2 in high school is insane. Sub 10 and you’re on the Olympic 4x100 relay team.

We haven’t had this type of speed in a long time

 

[SayWhat]

That's a great 200m time. Wow, great job kid! Hee got great top end speed.

The only kid faster than him in the country is Issam Asinga who ran the fastest 200 m ever in the US at 19.97. He's also run a sub 10 second 100m. He's the next track phenom here in the US.

 

[supacane]

200M speed is speed endurance. That means u get to top end and hold it. Great thing about him is he is not just a fast guy on the field. He is a football player thats also fast. Those stutter moves he has are lethal.

I wasnt saying to break record, I was commenting on the wind legal aspect

This kids speed is different than rooster and Chaney. He shoots out a canon and changes speeds. He's going to be amazing

Chaney is much bigger and faster than Rooster. 10.77 to a 11.28 and not even close. Parish was faster 11.09 and another reason why he was more productive.

Johnson at 5'11" 180 blazzes past guys and at 10.25 would be 10 yards ahead of Rooster in a 100 meter race. Johnson has some really good moves and does not go down that easy for his size.

We finally have a couple of fast guys that we have been lacking for since Mark Pope 10.54, Lamar Miller 10.56 and Duke Johnson10.62 DVD 10.61 Sam Shields 10.47. Just got to have several guys like that at the same time and not one per team.

That junior WR in Idaho ran a 10.15 today and and 2nd place was 10.92 next to well numbered football field and looked like at least 8 yards. After 30 yards these 10.92 guys where not even close. Every tenth is a yard distance once everyone hitting close to top speed. If you only got some 11.0 to some 11.3 CBs and the other team has a couple of 10.5 or 10.6 guys they will end up getting a way after a while. Speed matters.

That's what the kids called getting gapped! **** that boy pulled on the rest of the field.

This, track speed is great because you get a verifiable but in the end you also want a guy that can actually play. CJjr can actually play and looks good rather he runs a 10.8 or a 10.25, great news for us it’s actually the latter

 

[Cane4life18]

I hate to be this guy buy this might need to rethink playing football. He has Olympic level speed. Kid is going to do damage on Saturdays. If he builds his contact-balance, he'll be a LaMichale James 2.0.

Nah, we have been over this, you need elite elite speed to think about this. Track has a high ceiling but its floor is pretty **** low. Outside of Bolt, not many make crazy money. CJjr has a chance to play on Sundays. In todays NFL, if you have film, can catch the ball out of the backfield and run a 4.3 or lower you will be taken in day 2.

 

[Odysseus]

It's wild how much speed we added in just this one offseason
