I don't see Love in the NFL top 10 either.  he's very very fast but not that fast.  and on times, NFL times start when the runner starts; track meets start on the gun and the runners then react.

for curiosity's sake, some Love clips from SR year in HS.  on top end speed in the open field, Love and Speights look comparable, may be with a nod to Speights (on shiftiness as well).

These camps are all laser timed. He could be even faster now too as sprinters don't peak at age 17. He's by far the fastest player on the team.

Here is a report on the results of that camp posted on a web site from studentsports.
http://www.studentsports.com/football/2014/05/02/d-c-nftc-results/

It does list Love with a 4.30 40, which if you sort by 40 time (and scroll down several pages past all the people who didn't run), you'll find that was the fastest time there with second at 4.40 and a bunch at various 4.4X.

Someone who knows sprinting and these camps can comment on the meaning and reliability of these times.

Re: Class of 2016 - CornFed - 12-08-2015

I'm surprised that anyone could make any comparison to McCaffery.  He strikes me as a more power-oriented back and hopefully could fill a role like Gerhardt/Taylor/Gaffney.  Very nice recruit and I'm pleased we have him with us.  Could be fun to see him grow.

Re: Class of 2016 - rudruff - 12-08-2015

Pretty sure after this season every HS back with some speed and change of direction is going to be compared to McCaffrey.

Re: Class of 2016 - OutsiderFan - 12-08-2015

Any chance any 3 star Stanford recruits get bumped to 4 stars?  Does Fehoko get a bump?

---

Re: Class of 2016 - TrumpCard - 12-08-2015

The recruiting services unanimously rate Fehoko as a 4-star recruit.
Speights or Swann is the most likely to get a bump.

Re: Class of 2016 - TrumpCard - 12-09-2015

Former Stanford safety recruit Ikenna Okeke got a bump to four stars on Rivals.  He's now committed to TAMU.

Re: Class of 2016 - oman - 12-09-2015

Didn't notice he was a Tennessee kid.  Maybe there will be shenanigans at TAMU.  Always lots of drama in these parts during the last part of the recruiting season....

Re: Class of 2016 - TrumpCard - 12-09-2015

We've talked a lot about Jack Richardson and Matthew Gutwald here.  Both are potentially very valuable walk-on recruits.  A less discussed potential walk-on is JP Shohfi.  He's the star of the tiny football program in San Marino that is undefeated and advancing in the playoffs for the first time in forever.  He has no D1 scholarship offers, but he could end up being a good one for Stanford, if he decides to come.  If Stanford can't land its primary targets at WR, he could become a key part of this class, especially since the WR corps is already pretty thin.

Trump, do you by chance live in San Marino?  My wife grew up there and she and her sister knew a Ukrapina at San Marino high school.  Unless that is a common name somewhere in the world our Ukrapina, from Pasadena, may be related.  I hope so.  If so I am married to someone who vaguely knew someone who might be related to a Stanford hero.  How cool is that?!

Trump, I am in Culver City.  Can't be that far from you.

Yep, pretty close.

WE also have a pretty good record of walk-on wide receivers contributing and going on to the NFL (see, for example, the Whalens and Camarillo).

Granddad of our place kicker played FB at Stanford.  I can't spell it either

Article on Simi Fehoko.

Can't help wondering if Lance Anderson's possible departure would affect our Utah recruits.

I remember Addison Johnson as a walk on wide receiver we got all hot and tingly about a year or so ago. I don't see him on our current roster. Anyone know what happened to him?

Re: Class of 2016 - TrumpCard - 12-11-2015

With all due respect to Johnson, and with the caveat that I'm not an expert, Shohfi appears to be a better recruit, especially for Stanford's system where size/strength is at a premium.  Aside from the 4-inch height difference, Shohfi is probably getting better coaching since San Marino was able to hire the former OC from South Florida.  As a result, Shohfi has much better high school stats than Johnson did.  In each of the last two years, Shohfi has racked up about as many receiving yards as Johnson did in his entire high school career.  Walk-on players are always a gamble, but I think this one has a chance to contribute.
