He had plenty of breakaway speed in his high school highlight vids that I saw.UofDuck wrote:Good point Jeff and I was thinking the same thing. However, I also know that most senior players actually get faster with their pads on even if they don't without them on. He being a RS freshman and still raw - should get a bit faster as he matures in football.pudgejeff wrote:Remember those 100 times are without pads...some people have better football speed, while some have worse
I would take Kelly's word on LJ's speed versus JJ's. In the end LJ will be as faster than JJ on the field and that is plenty fast.
Lastly, even JJ was caught from behind in last year's CW, but knew how to turn and push off with a staightarm to finish. That is a learned skill.
Any commits this weekend?

Same thing happens when the chosen few trnsition to the pros.

Back to the original question, I guess we didn't get any commits from the guys who visited last weekend?

If he stays healthy Lamichael will have a special career at UO.
