Seastrunk still has the best high school highlights. I'm looking forward to the spring game to see everyone in action.

I agree. I can't wait to see what Lache can do at RB, Thomas returning kicks and Blackmon at WR.

i really like mamba's acceleration. it's unbelievable.

overall tho, i see blackmon making a bigger impact early because he's bigger.

i think seastrunk may need a couple of years

Seastrunk is the fastest dude on the team. Second is LaMike. Black Mamba is probably faster than LaMike, but Seastrunk is insanely fast. Only guy who may replace Lache as fastest dude on the team is Tacoi Sumler.

Fastest Ducks:
1. Seastrunk
2. Sumler
3. Black Mamba
4. LaMike
5. Huff
6. Barner
7. Patterson
8. Pleasant

Doesn't Dior Mathis run track as well? I may be mistaking him for someone else.

Well, I know those numbers are not the most recent because LaMike was killing Barner in the Pac-10 100m events, he was running low 10.6's while barner was in the 10.7's...

I've seen reports of Huff running in the 10.4's.

Dior is fast, but he lost to Seastrunk in a 40m race at the US Army Bowl two years ago.

I would say that LMJ is faster than Barner, but that both will seriously be challenged for fastest player by some of the incoming and redshirting players.

Based on the 2010 track season. Fastest 100m verifiable F.A.T. times.

LaMichael(10.52w, 10.72), LaThomba (10.59 legal)
....
Barner (10.76) , Lowe (10.78)
....
Seastrunk (10.81) , Huff (10.86), Sumler (10.80)

-----------------------------
Wildcards, No verifiable 2010 times found, but guys who have reportedly broken 11.00 100m
Mathis, Blackmon, French and Malone

Mathis is more of 60m specialist though he has a sub 11.0 PR in the 100m
Blackmon, Patterson, Kelley and Cole are Hurdlers.

Seastrunk had a 10.59 as a Sophomore. Good luck trying to find a 10.33 for Seastrunk, it has been debated in Texas recruiting boards since the claim first appeared and no one I have seen has ever come up with a meet, date, or timing method. It appears to be just recruiting lore similar to Darron Thomas' 40 inch vertical on his Scout profile.

Shuttle and 40 speeds are more relevant for football than 100 meter but 100 meter track times are more apple to apple until Coach Radcliffe does his thing with them.

Would definitely like to see a run off between all the Ducks to see who can claim the crown of fastest Duck.
Lowe is also very fast.

Seastrunk's are still the best IMO. He is on such another level in those videos, its shocking. I also think people are getting a little ahead of themselves with all the "will seastrunk transfer?" talk. Don't be surprised if DaT, coming in with all the hype like LS, redshirts. Just Like Lache. Lache will have a RS year under his belt & the maturation & growth that goes on during one of those can't be underestimated. He's just as talented, if not more so, than any RB on the roster. If he's gotten those little kinks that people noticed during fall camp worked out, he'll be a beast & challenge for that back up spot. And same goes for DWill. I expect them both to be big contributers.

Again, we're comparing Seastrunks senior tape to DAT's junior tape.

Actually those are Seastrunk's Sophomore and Junior Highlight's. They were posted 11/2008.

Seastrunk actually ran for more yardage with better yards per carry averages his Sophomore and Junior years than as a Senior.
