Recruiting ?

[9nationalchampionships]

Why are recruits not timed in the 40 ? Speed is so important in BB but you don’t see their speed quoted like you do in FB.

I think quickness vs straight out sprinting is more important for basketball.

Okay why don’t they use the line drill for BB recruiting?

LOL. I don't know.

You have to dribble?

I don't know what we'd do with a time like that? How frequently does a guy go into a flat out sprint anyways? Having great straight ahead speed would be very low on the things that I would ask about. I'd say it's much more important in FB, not BB, more ground to cover in FB. DBs and WRs sprint down the field all the time. When does that really happen in hoops?

I am sure the NBA uses some type of quickness testing. My reason for bringing this up is that we seem to have slow/un quick PGs & I wonder how they would test out if using this barometer.

The court isn't even 40 yards long. It's only 94 feet.

Would you believe a 20 yd shuffle?
