JRod was 6'3" 207, ran a 4.85, 4.37 shuttle, 30.somethin Vert. Pretty solid numbers. Not great, but looks good enough to be in the spread with the explosion numbers (shuttle, vert).
I always get a kick out of 40 times because they vary so much and unless you have every prospect run at the exact saem time at the same event you just never know. I think shuttle times are better and then there's the "gamer" factor, some dudes can just play regardless of stats/measurements.
As far as how he will fit, CK will cater to his strengths, what ever they end up being, but I do see this guy as a more of the bruiser type of runner with deceptive speed but until he arrives you just never know.
For the stat junkies (like we all are unless we see a particular athlete play, personally), who are really concerned (ie any NFL scout...draft an athlete not the player) I think MM is off the charts good so pay more attention to him...the upcoming QB battle is looking great with great variety of different QBs styles, I can't wait.

Where's the Bennett love gone?
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."
The competition when DT graduates will be insane. I think it's likely that, barring a major breakout season, Thomas will return for his Senior year. After that year. Bennett is going into his JR year, Mariota is a Soph, and J-Rod is coming off his redshirt year.

Personally I didn't mention BB because I figured he was more of a known entity and this is a recruiting thread so I pointed out MM because his measurements ans stats are ridiculous BUT I agree BB is going to be to be a good one for us and will get his chance to shine next year but a year later I see MM and JR pushing him and that's a good thing.

Yeah, but MM isn't a recruit, he has been at UO since the beginning of June.
When people talk about him they, use the term Pocket QB or Pro Set offense QB. It does seem kind of odd for our system but the coaches know more then I do.

A 4.37 shuttle is smoking fast. If you look at the NFL combine numbers from this past year the fastest shuttle run by a QB was 4.51 (Tyrod Taylor). And I'm pretty sure NFL players aren't considered to be slow.

Your looking at 40 times (Taylor ran a 4.51 and the ling says "FORTY_YARD_DASH&position=QB". Tyrod Taylor and Ponder both ran 4.09 shuttles. He'd be the 14th best, which still aint bad, but isn't great either.

14th best, and still a senior in HS, with potentially 5 years of quality training, development, and growth ahead of him?
I like the odds.
