He's fast.

Okay guys, enough f***ing around. Is he fast or is he not f***ing fast?

TACOMA ASSISTANT COACH: we all base our assessments on previous experiences. I watched the Beijing Summer Olympics, and have seen a lot stronger cases than this one. I give it a 60% chance he is fast.

TACOMA HEAD COACH: I concur. I have been at those HS track meets, sir, and know what goes on there. I am convinced there is some high value speed there, but not sure if elite. I would say a soft 60.

TACOMA STRENGTH COACH: 80% he is fast. It is his op-sec and how he leans forward at the finish line that convinces me.

MAYA: 100% he is fast. OK, 95% 'cause I know certainty freaks you guys out. But it's 100.

Who cares how fast. Does he have football IQ. Does he make the right moves at the right time? Does he have a feel for the field? Does he hate to lose? Does he love the gym? Does he love footwork? Does he have endurance and stamina? Does he have mental toughness. And can he pass classes and stay out of trouble?

The film says yes to a lot of those questions.

Thompson ran a 10.40 FAT time at the Texas State 3A Track Meet today in Austin for 2nd place. Excellent time and as a junior, he can improve on that next year.

But he's not very fast. Right?

He would be the 2nd fastest player on the A&M football team behind Devon Achane's 10.30 ran earlier this track season, so yes, he's plently fast. That is the type of speed we need at WR

Who beat him?

I wonder if he's going to apologize and eat his words?

I doubt he shows up again.

I would be shocked. I still question his entire story

5A results.

Major Everhart sounds like an anime character

He's played Canadian and Stratford every year. Guess those stock show boys aren't very good since Canadian won a state title this year. Google how many state championships they've won. Thompson and Everheart are both legit.

And Stratford never goes deep into the playoffs......oh wait.

Catfish

Lol at the Caflisch. Results don't lie.

I think he was from Whitney. 10.38 .

This is one of the best on TexAgs. As a Panhandle boy, it makes me smile.

That boy got some lineman in front that his highlights do alright for them as well.

Now, I'm not saying he isn't fast, however, he will not put the time he did up again.

well when you're right you're right

Looks like some CBs for this kid are starting to go tu's way.

Just hype for Sark. He hasn't even scheduled OV with tu

Achane kicks his ass

I appreciate Catfish's input here and I can understand if he was frustrated at all the attention coming at a kid maybe in large part to a faulty hand time. He's most likely right that at the time the kid was closer to a 4.8 than a 4.4, and M.E. was likely just as fast.

I know if I was a coach of a deserving kid not getting as much attention as one i thought no better than my own, especially if it was due in part to tactics in my own profession that should be discouraged, I'd at least want to get the word out about my own kid.

Yes I realize some comments were a bit much, but they've been much overblown here as is the nature
of these internet mobs. Catfish is a great athlete, experienced in his field, and I do appreciate his insight. No need to tar and feather him- show a little grace.

Good luck to both of these young athletes- here's hoping they go on to great things.


p.s. I will say I believe Major Everhart looks better on film, and especially given his better competition. It's nice to see that his offer list now includes some bigger schools like Penn St., Wash St., Ok State, etc.... Will be interesting to see how these two careers go in the future!

Curious how you can say that after seeing the proof laid out in the track times?

A lot of the conversation centered on a 10.18 which was reportedly hand timed. Indeed, I don't believe that's been duplicated unless I missed it.

Change the 10.18 to 10.4

Cevans 40- not sure what your questioning- i wrote a lot there. you have to read all the posts in context to when they were first posted.

He questioned the 10.4, and said he was likely more like a 10.8 if FAT. That was confirmed a few mos later. He also said Major was just as fast, which also was confirmed. Now Thompson posted a 10.4, a much imnproved time over his prior electronic times- good for him. and just 'cause Major's last time was a tenth slower, that isnt set in stone that one is faster than the other. that is the nature of track.

Bottom line is i appreciated Cat's input, and I didnt particularly care for the way a lot of people treated a good Ag here. No problem with some critiquing a few of the comments that were made, but some of the reactions were typical internet skewering. Wouldnt blame Cat if he said "screw it!" and never heard from again. my 2 cents anyway. Gig 'Em!

Turns out you're correct. And you made me go back and read this mess all over again.

His comments were out of line for a HS football coach and also wrong. When it mattered most (state Championship), Thompson was as advertised and faster than his guy. He should have never commented on him. I have my doubts about a highly touted recruit but you won't see me post anything here.

Tascosa blows. They've always sucked. They should change their mascot name to Amarillo High's Beach!
