re: Class of 2019 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: That's a Wrap Edition

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what their 40 time is at one of these combines (unless they tear it up and run a 4.3 or so, or post like a 5.0). Football speed is more important that 40 times in shorts and a t-shirt. Williams isn't a blazer, but he plays fast, and is a VERY good football player and athlete. Dent is one of the top CBs in the country for a reason.

Not sure how old those are, I know those are different for several players on ESPN's site. Webb and Dent for certain.

I'd trust their stuff because they champion SPARQ results a lot and have a hand in most camps those are compiled...

Just saying. There are a lot of DBs out there that never run faster than a 4.6 that almost never get burned deep, and a lot of WRs that look to be really fast on the field that don't blow you away with their 40 times at NFL combines. Some guys just don't run the 40 all that well, for whatever reason.

If I see a guy with a really good shuttle time and vertical, I know they're a really good athlete even if they don't run a great 40 time. The best example this year is Nakobe Dean. He plays really fast out there. His shuttle time and vertical are ridiculous for a LB. I'm sure his 4.7+ 40 time will go way down in college with a good S&C program, because he's loaded with quick twitch. A superb athlete. Nobody over 210 pounds should run a 4.0 shuttle time, but he does.

Welp

Pg 500 woo hoo

 I truly wish you would. I'd like to be 100% sure. I won't even be mad if you get to eat steak while I eat crow -- because it'd be pretty nice if transfers don't cost signee and intial counter spots. I've tried to find any evidence that they don't, but with no success.

I found this on the Dandy Don website from an interview they did with an LSU Athletic Director/Compliance Officer Blair Napolitano in January, in regards to the NCAA Bylaws - Signee and Counter Limits discussion.

Dandy Don’s Q&A with Blair Napolitano on 25-Signing Cap, Transfers, Walk-ons, and More

Dandy Don: Do all transfers (graduate transfers and undergraduate transfers) count toward the signing limitation per class?

Napolitano: Yes. Any incoming student enrolling at LSU for the first time – graduate transfer, undergraduate transfers (junior college and four-year) or any high school student – count toward the 25 for that year. For instance, DT Breiden Fehoko, who transferred to LSU from Texas Tech after the 2016 season, counts in the Tigers' 2017 signing class from last February.

It looks like Tidal has been right on this the whole time.

Good find, Carlton. I'm thinking I might've seen that before from googling for answers. I recall that I read some Dandy Don Q&A stuff about NCAA Bylaws not too long ago, but I don't recall if it was that particular topic.
