Why does NCAA D1 teams like Mizzou and others don't recruit in smaller public high school ?
- Thread starter HBL Pirates fan_1990
- Start date
Just Checked,
Damien French has no film (its Jan 2020) from his Junior season or at least that I could find. No vids at all on Hudl.
Only athletic info I found is his Athletic.net page for track and field......
personal best in the 100m is 11.51 and 200m is 24.21
gonna very safely assume he isnt D1 athletically or at all for a RB but there is no film to confirm.
Good thing Michigan didn't think the same thing about Hassan Haskins. He was a 4.7 guy, and seems to be doing just fine at RB at a D1 school.
"Speed" isnt the end all and be all.
Of course it isnt the end all be all. But those times are extremely slow. Those are JV times.
Also Hassan Haskins ran for 2200 yards and 34 TDs and was Class 6 first team all state. Different level of player. Michigan was also his only Power 5 offer and they came into the picture very late.

cool article I found on Haskins recruiting story.
Those are JV times? Interesting, because former Trinity and current Texas wide receiver Marcus Washington ran a 4.75 40 coming out of high school...why would Texas want someone running "JV times"?

You misunderstood. Im referring to his track times. 11.5 100m is extremely slow, 24.2 200m is extremely slow. Also Marcus Washington was an all american, not even sure if this kid is 1st team all state. We're speaking about 2 different levels of football player.
so while speed isnt the end all be all. you better check every other box if you dont have adequate sub 4.6 speed.
But you know I said that kids who go to Private schools get recruiting bias but some guy in here called me stupid for saying its politics in recruiting.
track times that slow point to a 4.85ish 40 times. Thats extremely slow freshman/JV track time
Ok well that "slow" kid went to Texas to play receiver.
My entire point is you're condemning this kid with incomplete data. You don't know his shuttle time, you don't know anything but a 100 meter time and his height/weight.
JV time where exactly? In the majority of the state, for a majority of kids, 4.7, 4.8 is FAST even at the varsity level.
you keep misunderstanding me lol Im saying the TRACK times are JV track level slow. Not speaking about the 40 time.
Most High school kids are 4.6-4.8 at the skill positions. Most of the D1 guys are sub 4.6 and you can tell the difference. Bringing up Marcus Washington is the exception not the norm. I linked above the Haskins recruiting story and his Coach and Him gave stories of Schools saying No Thanks saying he's too slow.
Most schools just wont look at a skill position guy WR/CB/RB if they are slower than that 4.65 range. You of course have your exceptions.
They linked a couple of clips of the French kid as well and he looks very slow on film too. Gotta get out in camps this spring/summer and post good times and have good performances.
