i thought banjo was like 5 foot 10-11 and jones is 6 foot or 6 foot 1

yep banjo is 5-11 jones is 6-1 and they both run a 5.5 forty

Jones may be listed at 6'1, but he is not. Jeff Reinbold said tonight that Banjo did an outstanding job in his first start.

Jones might run a 5.5 as you claim but Banjo ran a 4.52 I believe based on SMU trials that were published in August for many but not all SMU players.

hell, i'm 5-11 and can run a 5.5.

having guys who run 5.5 in our secondary would be a problem.

i typed it wrong he runs a 4.5 forty, the fact is he makes plays. your 40 times isnt that important.

I seriously doubt it.

look it up, im not making it up.

Why don't you find it for us?

I don't want to keep going with this, but, the coaches that are on the field every practice with these players, and look at the films each day, have made the decision.

i understand, just think its a bad decision, the guy deserves to be out there.

that 4.55 time is a reported time-as in Coach how fast does Tyler run? Or Tyler I saw you committed to SMU today-how fast are you? Oh about a 4.55. Its not verified. Reported, unverified times are more often than not padded.

its not official, but he doesn't run a 5.5. Im sure Banjo is going to be a good player. ive doen enough arguing about it for tonight. ya'll have a good one.

it does not take a rocket scientist to see Banjo is much faster teh Tyler. It is obvious the switch is a good idea. I think we need to go ahead and think about the same thought (more speed on the field) at LB while they are at it. Then get a bunch of JUCO DT's and hope 2-3 stay in school long enough to contribute. Then we might have something for next year. We should be done with undersized guys that are not fast enough.
