McElroy clocks 4.32 forty

[SMU 86]

It was typo by the writer. It has been edited to show a 4.32 forty. Still fast.

It was typo be the writer.

Irony?

take all unverified heights and running times with a grain of salt with the understanding that 75% are unreliable. Never trust an unverified recruiting site-because they are almost always second hand reports. It was particularly bad in the old days when Texas Football often turned 6-0 DTs into 6-3 protypes. The infamous blue chipper Stanley Godine went from 6-2,185 to 5-10 1/2 220 . Those players were never scouted or even seen by Texas Football. The proliferation of scouting combines over the years has demonstrated the inflation in heights and speed and luckily we get much more accurate information when it is verified. Finally never trust a height listed in a SMU recruiting prospectus or an SMU Roster-they are inflated as proven time and time again by NFL Scouting combines and transfers away from SMU.

To be fair, a lot of players seem to shrink after leaving a lot of schools — let's not act as if SMU is the only school that stretches players.

However, i do have a question for those of us who don't subscribe to recruiting sites: what makes one verifiable and another not verifiable? If Rivals claims it verified heights and weights, and I claim I verified heights and weights — what makes them more believable? The way I read it, we're just supposed to believe some more than others?
Thanks

Yeah that's what happens when you check the site at 3 a.m. :/

I know, StangEsq...just messin' with you. If anyone knows the poorly thought-out 3am post, it's me.

by verified I mean track meets, scouting combines or at least a recorded time at a schoo'ls camp.

SMU CB signee Deyon McElroy recently clocked a 4.2 forty.


But of course he did.

I don't recall the exact quote, but I believe the defensive philosophy is going to be "if we [deleted] up, we're going to [deleted] up at 100 miles per hour"
