Bo Melton set a school record in the 200m

[brodo]

For comparison's sake, Usain Bolt holds the world record at 19.19.

We need to put the ball in Bo's hands often next year. One thing is for sure our skill position will not lack speed. He, Janarion and Harris will be something to see this year if we can get the ball in their hands.

 

[madchuck]

I think Bo will see time next year. I can't wait for Ahmir to come back too. We'll be rolling.

A more realistic comparison for this board is the winning time in the NJ Meet of Champs last year was 21:57, so he beat that

 

[yesrutgers01]

if Bolin or Gio can step it up this year and our O stays healthy, we may surprise a few teams.

 

[RUb-it-in]

BOom!

 

[LevaosLectures]

Wrap him in bubble wrap until camp plz

 

[madchuck]

Jabrill Peppers ran a 21.13. So Bo is right there with him. Elite speed.

How many years eligibility does Bolt have left? [winking]

Question: Melton posted he ran a 4.45 at the NFL combine. Does anyone know if that was hand timed or electronic? The reason I ask is he looked like he was hardly trying and also hesitated out of the blocks. So if electronically timed, could have even been better.

I don't know if that was electronically timed.

He was laser timed running a 4.33 when he was a Junior at the US army combine.

He needs to bulk up a little, but it's gonna be hard to keep him off the field this year.

He needs to gain about 10-15 lbs. Which is easy. Ahmir and Bo and Lewis are a nice combo.

 

[ArminRU]

He's not skinny. Isn't he around 190?

He's not too skinny, but I think 10-15lbs would make him elite.

So instead of the "Pep-o-Meter" maybe we can have the "Melton Pot"

Bolt is like 30 years old and has been training forever. Melton's 200 time is actually faster than Bolt's early international competition times.

Stop comparing Melton to Bolt. Jabrill Peppers was actually faster in High School. Melton is fast but don't compare him to the fastest person in the history of the world. You sound ridiculous.

So you're saying that ESPN will start promoting a Melton Meter?

Whoops...just saw that Newell and I were on the same page...

I was just a chapter short.

What I like about Melton and what was so crazy about how long it took to get that 4th start- kid is elite fast, has great hands and just makes defenders look silly. And it seems like he does it all with no effort at all.
