'14 OH DE/LB Joseph Henderson (UT Signee 2/5/14)

:hi::birgits_giggle:

These prospects often exaggerate these measurables. I highly doubt he has a 40 in vertical. Also, Carter needs to add another 40 lbs...

 

[LawsonVFL]

was taken at The Opening. there was like 15 kids who had a 40 inch vertical. its bogus. there were lineman running 4.7 40s

And if he's jumping 39 inches, is that any less impressive? I mean, good lord people. The kid has FREAKISH measurables and you want to nitpick numbers? Henderson is close to where he should be ranked as is Carter.

everything at The Opening was bogus. I guess you didnt watch it

lolok

Yeah, I watched it. Carter looked like a beast. Has a ways to go for technique but you can't teach his size/speed.

And, yes, the huge event that recruits fly from all over the country to attend that costs thousands of dollars is bogus because dude watching from his sofa doesn't agree.

sound logic

logic says that these highschool kids dont produce better stats than players at the NFL combine

 

[RiseToTheTop]

he's 6'2 315lb

Cool.

 

[StoVol]

The guys were out jumping Justin hunter and out running Deion sanders. Seemed legit

Well carter isn't playing like a #11 overall guy. That's basically what ppl are saying

:hi::birgits_giggle:

Yeah, he went from a 32" vert to 40+ just like that. You can believe he not only can jump as high as Jordan, but that he also had a foot increase in doing so if you want. I like to think I'm not that gullible. Later, redneck.

the ignorance is strong with this one^

 

[OddFuture]

I'm guessing you guys don't know there are multiple ways to measure verts? Argument solved?

jumping on a pad to see how long you stay in the air does not measure an accurate vertical IMO

Uh.. How high your feet are off the ground at the highest point of your jump? Not sure if the opening measures by the tape slap but that is what the NFL uses. It's pretty accurate and cannot be fudged.

This. The stomp means nothing in the tape slap, but the Opening used the pad method.

If you haven't seen there are multiple ways to test it though. Some are more generous than others. I don't take the tests on these HS kids seriously except for the sure fire no speculation tests (weight, 40, etc)

did that include Dillion Bates commitment to UT? was that bogus?

i personally dont think he can run a 4.5

 

[PassedOutAwake]

dont see how anyone would think Speedy Noil's 45 inch vertical would be legit.

highest at the NFL combine this year was 43
highest no step vert at the 2012 NBA combine was 38

 

[babyavi]

i personally dont think he can run a 4.5

I wasn't talking about his 40. I was replying to you asserting that the whole opening was bogus. Happens that one of our top commitments made it public on ESPN that he will play for the Vols. Surely, you don't think that was bogus.

I could care less what his 40 time was or is.

well considering i said i dont think he runs a 4.5 would mean that his stats wouldnt be accurate as well now wouldnt it?

Why did you bring up his 40 to begin with, instead of answering my question about his commitment? Scared much?

 

[005]

Lol

 

[OddFuture]

Later rednecks

oops, my bad... read it wrong. not EVERYTHING at the opening wasnt legit. the 7 on 7 and commits were legit, but most of the measurables werent
