According to NCPreps.com, Dante Miller twice ran a 4.25 40 at a Duke football camp.
Also, Dante was chosen to participate in the NC/SC Shrine Bowl, the oldest of its kind in the country.
Minor point, but Dante Miller's height at 5'11" is a hype. He's listed by some sources as 5'9" and a look at his videos suggest that's closer to the truth. But he can motor.
Height or lack thereof doesn’t seem to hinder wainwright.....seems we have embarrassment of riches at receiver .... I am now more focused on the O line to reduce the number of sacks and improve the running game. There were two supposedly good running backs in this years freshman class. Any news of them?
When the Great Joe Morris was in his prime with the Giants, Bill Parcells was once asked how Morris could play so well because he was so small. Parcells responded by saying that he was short, not small. So if our new RB is 5’9” and 190 that makes him short, not small. And I seem to think that Dudek is around that size.
Chen, if you're referring to Broderick Taylor and Marquavious Moore, Taylor was out all year for reasons unknown to us -- anybody know anything? He had been regarded as a possible starter, hope he's okay -- and Moore looked promising in brief appearances toward the end of the season. There are also two other backs in that class with ability. With those four plus the two (so far) recruits coming in, plus Thomas and other rising juniors, we should be okay at rb although it remains to be seen who steps up.
Plenty of potential I would say.
P.S. Just heard from Jake about recruit John Harris, so make that 3 new rbs.
thanks Alawicius....so we're somewhat loaded at RB....good stuff
