Where did you see this? I'm reading the thread on 247, but it's mostly just Twitter pics and videos. I got the Thomas forty number from the sidebar of ESPN.

I don't know if it's anything like going up against Ole Miss in the state of MS, but historically you DON'T want to be going up against OU in the state of Texas for a guy that they have their sites set on. They sign a LOT of guys that a lot of programs want in the state of TX.

That's moving, but his quickness is equally impressive to his 40 speed.

Anyone seen Shaver's 40 time?

If I was Shavers, I'd never run the 40 again

Seriously though... Do I have to be plugged into the matrix to find these guys' test scores?

I would have an easier time reading Hilary Clinton's state dept. emails than I would finding Tyrell Shaver's 40 yard dash time...

Media coverage and analysis for this event is LOWSY.

It really is terrible this year. In the days of social media you'd think we would have a link to some sort of testing listing by now.

The weird thing about it is that just a couple years ago you could watch almost the whole thing live online. And they had constant updates about everything. Last year, there was a little less info, but still plenty. This year, it's as if they want to seriously tone it down or something. That sort of sounds like it defeats their whole purpose for having it and hyping it up so much. It's odd.

Found some tweets on SEC Country:

10:49 a.m. — Cam Akers, the No. 2 running back from Clinton (Miss.), runs a 4.48 in the 40. The 5-star prospect has Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Mississippi and Tennessee among his top schools.

Apparently Najee has a PCL injury.

OSU insider is in Oregon and said OU is making a push but OSU still feels good about it. Browning was brought up to OSU by okudah and the Buckeyes feel good about landing him. Can't imagine we get browning and NOT okudah if one pulls the trigger first
