UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

There is a difference between best track times and football speed.
First of all, is the best time regularly reproducible, or is it an outlier.
Second, has the guy had lots of track training or only run the event s few times.
Third, I’m sure you know that some guys run great in track, but not in pads carrying a football.
Fourth, ( not pertinent to straight line speed here, but very important for a RB )- what is their start, stop acceleration like).

I suggest you watch that film of both recruits and ignore the guys around them. Watch how fast they are covering ground and then recall how fast Love and Price do it.
I stand by my statement. Osborne is the faster of the two RB’s, and it is noticeable.

Greg Flammang had a great segment on this with a lot more track detail and interpreting track times on Hit & Hustle last Spring during recruiting time of this class.
Worth the listen.
