You guys have a serious lack of kids with speed and athleticism up there and I would rather a kid with speed than most of your slow kids. Truth is fast or last and I guess that's why you all struggle against teams here in the South. Maryland, UNC, USC, Florida are all teams that recruit solely on speed. so you can cross most of your slow butts off those lists. These Maryland Clubs would love to have her. You all can stay right there, we pass.


Speed is definitely important, but not 90%, sorry. And those programs don't recruit only on speed, that is just flat out ignorant.
