Justin hodges jumping out the gym.

Of course this doesn't mean that he can play football, but you want explosive athletes on defense. And this does in fact mean that he's at least somewhat explosive. Combine this with the fact that he can do standing backflips in pads at 6'2".

Just checkin' the boxes fellas.

No need to explain yourself. We have seen the kids tape. People didn’t think much of Redwine as an athlete until he was doing backflips like Nadia Comeneci (showing my age here) midfield after the Duke miracle win.

2 years later the Redwine had a 40 VJ and ran a 4.45 40 at the combine and is a top 4 round pick. Nuff said.

WHAT?

Yall on drugs in here....just saying anything.

Are you not familiar with the box jump? Very often people with lower verticals can box jump higher than people with a higher vertical because of their body types. It depends on leg length, hip flexibility etc. Why do you think the combine has you do a vertical jump not a box jump?

 

[PSU Cane]

A single vertical, box jump, 40, etc is one data point and could mean athlete, or could mean nothing. It's all about the context.

If a kid can jump through the gym but can't outrun a fullback, it doesn't mean help much. A kid can run a 4.5 but have a terrible shuttle/3-cone and be tight-hipped as all **** with no wiggle. It's a nice video but you need more.

Judging by his recruiting ranking, he might want to consider track & field. Or, maybe we can steal him from FAU or FIU so he can get pushed out in a year.

Yeah I doubt Nadia could do those after he ***** started to grow.

Looks like her ***** grew over the course of a few hours on an operating table.

You heard Dmoney. The vertical is the best indicator of what kind of athlete you are.

@Lance Roffers just ran a big series on this and found the 20 yard shuttle was the best indicator of general football talent, and especially for skill position players. Vertical seemed to be more positively associated with safeties, linebackers, and some ends that were big hitters.

Looks like he stayed in the gym the whole time

Thank you!!!

Proof. I don’t believe this statement.

OK but both require strengths...and last I checked hip flexibility is a good thing. You are nitpicking

It's still impressive.

 

[OriginalGatorHater]

Go to any football, basketball, wrestling, or any sport team that uses box jumps in training. You will plenty of kids get beat on box jumps by kids that have lower verticals.

Just use common sense. If you can jump 1 inch higher than me, but I can tuck my knees 2 inches closer to my chest. I will have a higher box jump than you by 1 inch and you will have a higher vertical than me by 1 inch.

No, I am not nitpicking. I even stated it was impressive in my prior statement. I was just stating a fact about box jumps.

That’s not necessarily the best proof but I get what your saying. Box jump is to vertical jump as leg press is to squat.

Exactly. Great analogy.

Just got a CB from Ivins.

I wonder if he has a spot as a CB or FS

 

[Geddy Lee]

Let the board meltdown begin in 3,2,1 if he is a take

 

[Cuban-Cane]

Says Miami seems to be ready to accept his commitment. I question the take. But there seems to be some people on this board that like him as does the staff so I’ll hold judgement.

 

[Captain Uberpants]

He committed
