2012 Recruiting

Generally speaking, you should add .2 seconds to hand-timed 40 times to equal an electronic time. Personally, unless they're electronic or come at NDSU's camp, I ignore them.

Justin Arp is a sprinter so he has wheels, but if you believe every 40 time you see in rivals.com/scout.com, there are at least 2000 HS senior football players with NFL caliber (or better) speed.

It's worse than that. We have a kid that ran, electronically, a 4.98 in our field house. At the Iowa State junior/senior prospect camp in early June they had him at 4.65!! He was the 3rd fastest 40 recorded that day and their were 250 attendees.

Here are the results from the Army Combine held in San Antonio in January. These are some pretty good football players but 40 times
under 4.6 are rare. Until we can plant chips in athletes, 40 times are best taken with a grain of salt.

Obviously you have never played the game at a high level. Many of lifes lessons are learned when things arent going good. But you still stick it out, show up for practice when its zero degrees outside and put in ALL on the line every Saturday regardless of the outcome. Being a champion isnt just measured by how many Ws you have in the win column.

I realize this. But just in case the tool still drops in in---if you know what I mean.

Its also kind of a reality check to some fans to remember why the game is being played and that the game is on the field. Not in the stands. Just a thought.

Need to edit my last post. I reported that Sam Foltz was the 47th POI on our Rivals site when, in fact, I had already posted him
as the 43rd POI a couple of days ago. The 47th POI is actually Calvin Thomas, an OL/DL from AZ who is a consensus top 25-50
prospect in AZ. My apologies, gentlemen.

Also, please note that Mr. Thomas reportedly holds an offer.
