Nike Football Combine

Booker T. Washington '14 DE Chad Thomas measured in at 6'4.75", 226 & had a 4.39 short shuttle at UA combine. Taller than I imagined.

Seems a little shorter than that, but that guy is gonna be a big, big time recruit. He'll be a legit 240 by the beginning of his senior HS season. He'll be 250+ by the time he hits campus. If he keeps anything close to that shuttle, that's special stuff.
 
Matt Thomas is legit 6'3 and change and Chad in every interview vid, pic was just a little taller than him. Good stuff.

Combine was REALLY crappy. Nike was uber protective of the stats/results, then wouldn't release them to me when I asked for them. Didn't have a system to match the jersey numbers with player names. A very poorly run event when it comes to media cooperation.

They hoarded the info for themselves, and have only put out the things they wanted.

Based on performance at the event, I saw AT LEAST 15 guys I would have ranked above Treon Harris from an athletic standpoint. But, again, Nike/ESPN had "pre-selected" their target players, so as long as those guys didn't run 5.2 in the 40, they were going to be the highlight guys.

I would write a complete recap, but I simply don't have the information I need to do that.

I'm ****ed. It sucks. I'm NEVER covering another combine or camp event. It's not worth it.

no Lane? who where you the most impressed with?

Lane didn't show up.

Most impressive: Jaquan Johnson, Madre London, Krondis Larry, and 3 other dudes whose names I wasn't able to get due to Nike's information hoarding.

Krondis is tiny, no?

Does london project to a LB?

We know all about Johnson.

Krondis is TINY. 5'5" 145lbs.
London is an interesting one to me. He's at RB now, but LB could be the position he's best suited for. This summer and his senior season will shed light on that situation.
Johnson is Johnson. Nothing else needs be said.

He's going to be ******* terrifying next year. If we land 6, we are going to land Chad as well.

Seems like the complete DE we have been missing for a while. Kid is going to be an animal.
