UCF's Breshad Perriman, 4.2 in 40

[Confident Carl]

First Byron Jones wowed NFL scouts with his amazing athleticism and now UCF's Breshad Perriman runs a 4.2 (one report was 4.150)

FY I, Perriman was a 2 star coming out of high school. His father, Brett Perriman played 10yrs in the NFL

Having these 2 skill players with incredible tangibles go high in the NFL draft says something about the quality in the AAC and should not be ignored.

Hand timed 40's are poop. Hence the large asterisk. Fast? No fricken doubt? 4.2? Absolutely no chance in hell. Anyone want to bet he runs a 4.4+ electronic? My blazing 4.45 was a sloth like 4.64 when legitimately timed.

It will be interesting to see where he goes in the draft. The main point of the post is there are some elite athletes in the American.

Well, elite athletes are only part of the story we need to have... the bigger part is an on-field product from each team that wins all out of conference games. All. I said the same thing for Big East Football recognition.

Then we need a sports network like Fox/CBS/NBC to start using us as a barb against ESPN and their power 5 story. That's the only way the AAC gets elevated, when another network can use our results to poke holes in ESPN and force them to recognize the conference.

Sort of. The problem is people need to watch said network. If the horrible ratings for the Big East and Fox aren't a cautionary tale, I don't know what is. I'd rather watch PC vs St Johns than any AAC basketball game that UConn isn't involved in, yet I don't bother to pick up the clicker. ESPN controls sports media.

When I worked on Wall Street I did a bunch of on campus recruiting for finance folks (mid 90s). I convinced them to let me interview kids at UCONN since I had to do the work, but I also visited Virginia, Cornell and a couple of other Wall Street feeder schools.

We would spend two day and interview 12 students per day.

The top students at UCONN where equal to the top students at Virginia. But after the top 4 or 5 the rest of the slate was mediocre at best. At Virginia I would interview 24 studs, most of which would end up with multiple offers from all of the big banks. None of the other banks were at UCONN at all.

Because there is talent somewhere just means there is talent somewhere. Depth is what matters. And right now the AAC doesn't have enough of it.

i keep trying to convince mny wife that my blazing speed makes up for my lack of depth - she aint buying it either

These are the type of threads I promised not to post in and upset people. So I won't.

I'll just let people have their fantasies.

Anyone want a good laugh?

From the Orlando paper when he signed:

This past weekend he scored again, securing a spot with UCF. Perriman chose the Knights over FIU, Florida State, UMass, Marshall, UConn and his dad's favorite, Miami.

Yeah, he was a 2 star that slipped through the cracks. LOL.

All offered or interest?

Winning all OOC games is a stretch. I will settle for .500 or better but I agree, the ESPN mantra that all non P5's are mid-majors is insulting if not slanderous propaganda.

What is more important to GMs - a 40 time or a broad jump...?

Depth or length?

I was thinking Navy was playing Air Force, just a typo

Depth or length?

Probably both. Not to mention girth.

Anything over 5 wins and the league will have surpassed expectations.

I can see Cincy, ECU, Temple, Houston, and Memphis picking up wins against that slate.

Where are you getting 4 wins from? I see 2.

I went with Memphis over Kansas, Houston over Vandy, USF over Cuse, and Cinci over BYU . Could just as easily be 1 win instead of 4, but I am sticking with 4. Anything more than that would be pleasantly surprising.
