Great Recruiting After Losing Season, Speed Added

I am excited about the speed NT is recruiting this year. Leaving out OL/DL/DE type position players NT has recruited:

1- 4.4 player, 7-4.5 players, 2-4.48 players and 3-4.6 players....Some needed speed here. Most of these speeds came from Rivals which normally is fairly accurate on this point.

This is where it begins... speedy athletes in the secondary... we can beef up some guys in the front. We can always use more bodies there, but with this conference's spread offenses, we need athletes in the secondary or linebackers(if they can beef up some) that can run with slot receivers and running backs... very exciting... "you can't coach speed"...this is what you always hear coaches say.

I believe that TD is going to get a lot of speed in this class. However, that is based on my confidence in TD's recruiting ability and emphasis on speed. IMO football quoted 40 speeds are totally unreliable. Look at any bowl divison commits and see how many skill players are not listed with 4.5 or better speed. For example, look at NT's 2005 recruits, another class heavy on skill players; two 4.4's ( Kory Washington, Evan Robertson) and 6 4.5's. (Bush, Green, Chatman, Stubblefield, Demario Thomas, Oubre).
