Imma keep it real here even though recruits parents read the bored. The guy has an officially recognized 40 time of 4.78. At 5-11, 170, pass.
Going through our roster and wondering why we aren’t getting more contributions from even our better wide receiver recruits, the common theme is that we’ve just been recruiting slow fucks. We’ve basically been recruiting Joe Jurevicius over and over. How are they supposed to get open?

That’s an official 4.78 the summer after sophomore year. I imagine it will be a tick or two better by the time he hits college.

Completely agree that we lack speed. Baccallia runs a sub 4.4, but he goes down easily and is not very elusive.
Not sure about Fuller, but he’s no burner.
Ty Jones is slow.
Spiker also looked slow to me and had a poor 40 time.
Speed is good, but being able to make plays on the ball and make tacklers miss are more important traits. We have guys who don’t do any of this at an elite level.

Where is the evidence that speed is the problem? I'm not saying I know for a fact that it's untrue, but I'm wondering what you have seen to confirm it. I'm pretty sure Fuller and Baccellia have 40 times among the fastest on the team. Bynum, Cook and Osborne were all touted as 4.5 guys. Years if watching HS highlight films and comparing guys across years leads me to believe those times were accurate enough.
As Roadie said the problem isn't that some guys can't run fast. It's that they don't seem to know how to get away.
I do agree that the roster lacks a taller guy with legit 4.4 speed. I would have taken the kid from Texas this year and hoped he learned how to catch.

The 2019 class might go down as the greatest collection of recruiters we ever signed.
(Yes, Justin Tuitele counts)

A lot of recruiting is projection.
