If I have some time, I’m going to add Alabama’s depth chart for context.

Thanks friend, I appreciate the kind feedback.

Interesting on the return angle, difficulty with that is most DI guys are returning kicks and punts on their teams because they're the most dynamic athletes on the team, but I'll look into that if I can find a resource to script from. WR's with height are always getting undue bias, I agree...

Personally, I do not know the answer to this. My guess is most of the time you're sucking up to the kids when they're on campus more than testing them, but I could be wrong. It would absolutely be a part of my Paradise Camp etc. though. I'd probably make it a semi-requirement for an offer to...

It’s absolutely part of the evaluation, no doubt. That said, if you start using outside influencers , you’ll be finding ways to justify what you want your eyes to tell you based on internal biases. Am I aiming to say, “you can’t take this guy because he tested __, even though he’s a killer on...

Their best numbers are used, yes. Richards was not a true burner though. And, as the data shows, the WR position is unlike any other in terms of athleticism translating. It leads me to believe strong hands, hand-eye, route running are what is truly important.

Just part of the deal.

Didn't test. At the WR position, it is the one position that it has shown to have the least correlation though.

I scrubbed for the data, which generally comes from the camps themselves. Nike Opening or Under Armour camps use lasers, so that's where I grab them from. I take their highest score that I can find. Minkah Fitzpatrick and and Antonio Alfana (both Bama kids) are two players who improved their...

If they aren't listed in the positional groupings they'll most likely be marked with * in the depth chart at the end, signifying they did not test. Like you, I would guess that Harrison-Hunte tests well.

All weights are from when they were coming out of high school unless otherwise noted. This way all comparisons are to the same situations.

Linebackers- 216 pounds, 4.77 40, 4.40 SH, 36’ Powerball, 32” Vertical, 93 SPARQ Linebacker is a position that asked different things from different places, but with the interchangeable nature of the position, it is difficult to separate them into SAM, WLB, MLB. Sam Brooks- 194 pounds, 4.62...

Tight End- 223 pounds, 4.85 40, 4.46 SH, 37’ Powerball, 31” Vertical, 90 SPARQ It appears that pass catching is not a skill that pure athleticism drives. If WR is the number one position in difficult to project, TE is number two. In many ways, this shows reliability in that aspect that both the...

The dust has settled on the class of ’19 and the portal has closed (for now). The roster appears to be pretty much set, other than the inevitable transfer or two after spring ball concludes. With that in mind, I wanted to take a holistic look at the roster from an athleticism standpoint and...
