Marquis Williams, 2018 athlete from Florida

[steel_curtain]

-Loaded offer sheet with a bunch of big boys coming. Called out Pitt on twitter to recruit him harder. Good friends with Butler. -Has ties into Pittsburgh. Also likes Penn State. Kid is small at 5'9 165lb but ran a blazing 10.7 100m as a junior. Another pure athlete with speed from Florida. Hope he grows a few inches and puts 15+lbs on but hard to pass up that type of speed and athleticism. Early 4 star player per the services. Early indication is he might want to return to PA. Even though he is small he is worth the risk being well under 11 in the 100m. Possible slot or return man if we can't use him at db because of height. Regardless, Keep pounding the door down on Florida and opening up that pipeline down there. I want a massive Florida recruiting haul with pure athletes with speed in 2018.

[Pitt1992]

This guy is pure defense,he might be small be he can cover ground

 

[Ronnyp91]

He tweeted this morning that we offered him.

 

[raleighpanther]

He's the same size as Maddox, who also has blazing speed. He is not the proto-typical Narduzzi corner, which are all several inches taller, and 30+ lbs heavier.

-Maddux runs a 4.55. 40. This kid is 4.4 or better. -Big difference.

-Maddux runs a 4.55. 40. This kid is 4.4 or better. -Big difference.

These kids don't all run 4.4s. Only 20 of 59 DBs invited to the NFL combine ran in the 4.4s or better. Of those, only 7 at 4.4 or below. We might have 3 players who run 4.4 or better. Maybe. Same is true of LBs running 4.6 or better.

-You dont like track, do you? Do Alabama players run track? I know its hard for you to comprehend Pitt's recent recruiting success with speed, but Pitt is recruiting track athletes with speed. Players that are faster than Alabama, or Penn State, with track times to back it up. You see, I already called out Penn State and their players because they cant break 11 in the 100M, including smurf Lamont Wade.

-How does it make you feel that

A) Pitt scored more points per game than Clemson or Alabama or Penn State this year with a harder regular season schedule

B) Pitt will have 5 players drafted off the Pitt offense this year, which will be more than Alabama or Penn State

C) Pitt's offense single handily beat Penn State and Clemson, because our defense did nothing to win either game

D) Pitt has and is recruiting Elite track stars with better track times and speed than anything Penn State or Alabama has

E) Pitt's offense will not be slowing down anytime soon. Forget about it, it isnt happening. We are improving the speed on defense as we speak.

 

[steel_curtain]

-Getting back on the subject. For anyone that is curious, here are Lamont Wade's track times. That is about equal to a 4.6 40. And now you know why I say continue to recruit Florida speed. Williams speed blows the doors off Wade.

Exactly why I don't really care anymore about trying to lockdown western pa. There are very few players in pa. that have this kind of speed. It's not the '80s anymore, the wpial all-star team won't win ACC championships. Get 3 or 4 of these Florida athletes per class, expand the recruiting base to a national level (which narduzzi has been doing), and Pitt will be a much better program than we've seen in decades. I'll take this kid at 5'9", even if he's just a return specialist it's worth it.

The offense will slow down more than you care to admit this year but when it happens you will not be here much like you disappeared during the rough stretch this year

-Exactly why I use track times to gauge speed. Penn State fans said Wade was a 4.4 speed athlete. LOL, not even in dreamland is he anywhere close to 4.4. Then we got other guys on here trying to say track times are not legit. Well if the Pitt players run a faster 100m or way faster 100m then anyone else, They are clearly the fastest player. But it gets better. Henderson and Weak were high school track stars along with Ffrench. The first 2 crushed it this year on offense and special teams with pure speed and athleticism. It was like watching Bolt destroy everyone with speed. Except on a football field.

Yeah it could go either way. Chryst seemed pretty excited about Weah, who like you said was a track star. But it literally meant nothing when he couldn't catch anything. Now that his skills are developing though, that track speed is certainly a great asset for him.

-Of course it doesn't mean a lot if you can't catch. But you either have true speed or you don't. Players can always improve catching ability or vision in time. Players are not going to improve speed by all that much as there is a cap. You are either born athletic with speed or not. And without speed and athleticism, you are already very limited.

Exactly. Speed is the one thing you can't teach, and really can't even develop once you reach a certain point. That's why these Florida athletes can be so valuable. I don't wanna sound like a fraud, or Todd? but speed kills.

 

[President Stache]

Well, that was the drawback on Wade was the speed and height questions.

Regardless though, the kid played well in high school, it isnt all about speed or size.

That being said, back to the OP, pretty freaking cool you can call out a school then get an offer the same day. like "hey Pitt give me an offer".

Jesus. The problem is those players don't run those times. You extrapolate 40 times out of 100m times. That isn't how it works, for a number of reasons. It is amazing you are so delusional you can be convinced Pitt is going to have 1/4 of the roster running 4.5 or below, but the NFL combine only has about 40-50 (of the best in the country and trained specifically for the 40 for months) players who can do that annually. No one has it, so you don't have to pitch a fit in Mom's basement and get so little brother about it and bring up Alabama, Clemson, or PSU.

-I have to laugh at the Alabama fan getting upset. The NFL only accepts up to 335 players in the Combine per year. DB, WR, and RB make up less than 150 total yearly. Not all track stars excel in the NFL or are even invited to the combine.

-But you are a proven idiot. The top 5 WR's in college football this year statistically, 4 of them were former track stars with Elite speed. None of them were 5 star players. One of them was a 2 star, and another was a 0 star.

-Im not delusional because I witnessed 3 track star athletes from Pitt embarrass defenses with Pure speed this year. All anyone has to do is pull up the Syracuse game, and watch Weah, Henderson, and Ffrench blow by the Syracuse defense like a Ferrari blowing by a dump-truck.

-Alabama's "best defense in the last 10 years" needs more speed, that much is certain. Couldnt handle ACC speed with Clemson's offense lighting up that defense like a Christmas tree.

-I think Ffrench averaged over 10 yards per carry this year too, as a true freshmen. Another Track Star.

-Wanstedt always said run faster. Well boys, we are faster. A lot faster. And we continue to recruit the FASTEST players in the entire country. Nice job Coach Duzz going after athletes with Elite speed that blows the doors off other schools.

Jester Weah - committed to Paul Chryst

Henderson- committed to Paul Chryst

Maurice Ffrech - had 112 yards last year and 77 came on one rush in a game where no defense was played by either team. Jury is still out

If this staff recruits elite speed, you should be all over them for not offering journey brown

-Getting back on the subject. For anyone that is curious, here are Lamont Wade's track times. That is about equal to a 4.6 40. And now you know why I say continue to recruit Florida speed. Williams speed blows the doors off Wade.

Not knowing what future holds for Wade, he was a talented HS player...
My gut, he will be an average collegiate player due to his smurfitis..

 

[joeydavid]

This point is easily stated. Pitt's recruiting more fast players than we are used to seeing on the field; as a result we are seeing more runs and catches resulting in long TDs.

To Steel's point is if Weah, Henderson or a Ffrench are .5 second slower those same plays are going for 10 or 15 yards not 50 or 60.

Tre Tipton is a freak athlete but not blazing fast. He can get you 10 yards on a jet sweep whereas Henderson or Ffrench runs the same play to the house.

If you ignore Steel's hyperbole you will realize the merit in what he's saying. He's spot on with what's made Pitt so explosive last year. I'll take a high track guy who plays football every time over a 4.6ish kid.

[thebadby2]

I don't care at all who recruits track stars. I want football stars at Pitt, so we win football games.

The simple idea is it's great to have a lot of team speed and as many explosive athletes as you can get, we need to keep going after faster players. and HS track stars that are good football players can be real weapons. None of that is any secret to anyone and nobody would believe differently.. Every team and coach looks for those kinds of players. But this buffoon Meat Curtain acts like this is some new and novel approach that our coaches have stumbled upon, and he then invents a lot of completely fabricated horseshit to emphasize it. For instance, he suggests Alabama doesn't have the kind of "elite speed" or track-star athletes that Pitt has. Even though he won't say it, I believe he is basing this on our win over Clemson, and Clemson's win over Bama. Child-like logic that also happens to be complete BS.

-Didnt your brother jflipper make it loud and clear that a football team cannot have multiple players that are in the 4.4 speed range earlier in this thread because of his NFL combine opinion? Now we have 2 teams in d1 that have multiple players with this speed with proven links to back it up. You missed my sarcasm in the original post,. Yet you now agree with me,. All the while making your brother jflipper look bad. Nice going. I question where Bamas speed is though. Perhaps their track players ride the bench while ours score 90 yard TDs. I already baited you once in this thread and I'm doing it again right now. Nice going providing links to back up my argument of recruiting track stars.

 

[H2Pittisit]

Team speed is a huge asset, but acting like this coaching staff is reinventing the wheel and that no other team compares to it is laughable. In addition, it has been pointed out that the most productive fast players on this team were not even landed by this staff. What made this team tick was oline play. It's easy to make long runs when you get to the edge and there is no one there because the line sealed it. That's what needs to continue

O-line play combined with the design of the offense and the play calling. Canada masterfully exploited the strengths of every player in the offense. The numbers would have looked a lot different in 2016 if Chaney, or for that matter Chryst were running the offense.
