6'5 225 lb HS junior Nyckoles Harbor- a 5 star DE recruit - runs 20.79 indoor 200 (#4 all-time US HS)

rojo · 2022-01-25T15:45:55-05:00

Super impressive. Now what people on twitter are saying - that it was run without blocks -isn't true. I found it on youtube and he was using blocks. The guy has been an age group ace in track since at least the age of 12. Now he's also playing WR in football. Freak. Video of race with football highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95eBWmXfQNQ Video of him talking about what's key in his college choice and Usain Botl comparisons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVVkluvprXs PS. What the heck was he doing in Lubbock, Texas? He lives in the Washington , DC area. Do they now pay to fly kids down from DC to Texas to run regular season indoor track races? Who pays for that?

re: Deno

Add this to my incredible list...

Dwayne Eugene Evans (born October 13, 1958) is an American athlete who mainly competed in the 200 meters.

He competed for the United States in the 1976 Summer Olympics held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where he won the bronze medal in the men's 200 metres event. That same year, he had just graduated from South Mountain High School in Phoenix, Arizona.[1] That year he also set the still standing NFHS national high school records in the 220 yard dash at 20.5. The federation converted record-keeping to metric distances shortly afterward.[2] He was Track and Field News "High School Athlete of the Year" in 1976.[3] He continued to run, achieving his PR of 20.08 in 1987.

Winning an Olympic bronze as a HS kid. yep.......incredible.

Having seen HS kids winning Olympic medals, running world records how can we give just big and fast an....... incredible? Compare the big guy to Knighton, huge difference there.

Don't really like to use that world incredible much.

You literally made a thread arguing that Walker was the most “amazing” sight on a track just because he’s kind of big for a 10.2x guy. You were laughed at for it.

Illegal tailwind. He sprints like a 225-pounder.
So, say this is an honest 10.50, that’s excellent. Shades of Dick Metcalf. Like I said, football all the way. He will likely get bigger and probably slower from here on, but he should be able to crank some great relay legs for whatever college he’s at.
DB might be the right position for him…or TE if he has hands and gets even bigger. For WR I’ll take a lighter guy any day, like Rice or Moss. Seems to me like it would be pretty easy to get offensive pass interference calls against this guy as a WR, just do some soccer flopping😂
I had a friend just like that: 6-6, 235-245, he did some track but went into boxing as a heavyweight. When I was around 10.5-10.7, he was really close. Nigerian guy, great athlete. Should have done deca. No real fighting career, got into it too late. One of the best athletes I have ever known, this guy reminds me of him. Today he would be nfl, 100%.
Go Nyck💪
6'5" DB is not a thing

Sorry was typing faster than thinking, meant DE

Bolt not close to being as muscular as Walker, there was a stud football running back, he runs over people.

No I;m I;m not, what sprinter was as muscular as the Heisman winner in a 100m especially back then? I have seen them all and never saw anything like Walker in a 100m. What a sight. Bullet Bob was 5-11 195 that was a big sprinter.

This kid is big but he's not the awesome sight Walker was.

You literally said that being big and fast doesn't make you incredible and then you said Walker is incredible compared to Bolt because he is big and fast.

This is like talking to a child.

So amazing and incredible are notably different to you? Walker was amazing as a sprinter but not incredible, or he was not either?

It's not a lack of paying attention - it's your lack of consistency.

Like I mentioned I posted a thread about this kid long ago, yes he's impressive. I just save that word "incredible" for stuff like Tommie Smith 19.5, MJ 19.32, Bolt's career.

I save "incredible" for the likes of Bolt, MJ and Boling.

Boling was incredible as a white high school sprinter. Hadn't seen that since Forest Beatty in the 50's.

Being taller or shorter than average means nothing. A 7 foot guy that can run a 49 in the 400 is not very impressive because there are high schoolers running 45.

This kid's football stats were bad. He only had 439 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns as a senior. He only had 5.5 sacks and didn't force any fumbles. That's a big warning sign that he's uncoordinated because he has size and speed but he probably can't catch and he probably has bad footwork.

You mentioned "amazing". Is swapping "incredible" for "amazing" a notable difference?
