Matt Boling is overrated

I do think we will see him more 200m than 100m at Georgia. History has proven the sustained speed of a 200m fits white sprinters better than the explosion that is the 100m..

Whether he will be a better 100 or 200 guy has NOTHING to do with his skin color. Your predilection for race in the matter of sprints is banal.

I'm not convinced he will end up better suited for the 1 or 2. Lyles is a better example to base assumptions on than Bolings skin color. Boling is going to be good in the 2, but whether his 200 ceiling is more of a Guliyev 19.9x or a Lyles 19.5x isn't perceptible yet (hell, he could max out at 20.1x for all we REALLY know), and his limits in the 100 probably follow something similar to a Lyles type.

Boling has an incredible 60m-100m skill set in the 100m, though, and I'd argue that isnt just a function of his fitness. That is a skill set. How goo of a 100m guy he can be is probably going to depend on how much more he can develop his first 60 meters and if there's a lot of room for improvement there or not. Because his final 40 meters will be there for him. If he can become a 6.5ish 60 meter guy, he'll become a serious 100 meter threat. But if he doesn't really take much to that kind if training, then he might get stuck in the 10.0x range.

Lyles is probably his mold to follow, Whatley. Lyles is also black, Whatley.

Seems someone is upset a white boy is sprint king.

He's a 100m/Long Jump athlete who will also run the 200 and relays.

You're all atomic jacka-ses, and it really shows.

They have splits posted anywhere for Pan Am's? - saw the 4x4 just ran 2:59 - pretty sweet for an under 20.

None given:

Too bad - someone(s) sure ran fast

Robinson's 44.84 at Great Southwest (ABQ-moderate elevation) is looking more legit. And he is a rising senior!

So if he's not a world medalist by 19, he'll never be. Got it.

I will not say that Matthew is overrated, but I strongly believe that he is on some type of human growth hormone. Whatever he is taking is currently undetectable or may not actually be illegal at this time. You can't test for most HGHs unless you know what type it is. He has been running track for a long time, but his times all of a sudden improved dramatically. No one can increase their times and distance in every event that dramatically. There are certain human growth hormones that are rapidly enhanced with weight training, and he does a lot of weight training. This has nothing to do with him being white. I think many of the Jamaican runners are doing the same thing even their women. They just haven't been detected yet not all of them anyway. Any athlete that has ever been caught using steroids all had one thing in common, their times increased suddenly and dramatically. He is doing things that his gene-pool suggests that he shouldn't be able to do. Just a couple years ago he was not even consistent at breaking the low fifties in the 400. I hope I'm wrong about the hgh but I don't think so. If I'm right in my suspicion, then I expect his times to continue to increase in every event. His goal is to break records and not just win a race. He will be successful if he is indeed ingesting some type of hgh. Once again I hope I'm wrong because it would be a great story if I am.

He would be one of the best runners and jumpers in the NCAA right now. I just worry about high schoolers pushing the limits on GNC type supplements that all of a sudden are not allowed when they get to college.

Please explain this

And every elite athlete all has one thing in common, their times increased suddenly and dramatically right at the age that Boling's did. The one who jumps off of the charts is Nico Young. Look at his improvement from about 15 to 16. He obviously is doing something illegal based on your logic.

As a freshman in HS, he long jumped 22-4 and HJed 6-4. As a sophomore, he ran 47s for the 400 and LJed 23-11.

Has Boling put up any numbers yet this year?

What is he doing?

your gf liked his pictures wrote:

alright dude, we get it, your girl followed him then immediately liked his pics..

now you're worried your 1 DM away from, "sorry let's be real, I found a real alpha.." text message.

hmmm... but boling is easily out-alpha'ed by quite a few guys. imagine if his own thot likes some pics of the 16 y.o. who just did that great 200, or the sub45 high schooler. not to mention the pros

Yes, and I guarantee you that the example you gave gene pool would suggest that. And I will also guarantee you that he didn't improve in five different events that dramatically. Matthew is near world class in several different events. And hear me, I'm not trying to take anything away from him. I want the story to be true. But most of what I am hearing and seeing is almost too good to be true. Most kids just don't increase that dramatically in that many events. I can't think of a single one including Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson or any of the greats. Most of the ones that increased significantly and consistently in a short period of time ended up testing positive for a banned substance. And even they didn't improve in five different events almost world class.. Ben Johnson, Miriam Jones, Florence griffith-joyner, Justin Gatlin, Yohan Blake, half the Russian track team. Time will tell. If he proves to be clean hopefully he will win medals for us in the Olympics. He appears to be a great kid.

I guarantee you that Nico Young's genetic makeup will agree with his increase performance.

IMO in the 200, he is likely to follow the pattern of so many others—good but not heroic, with one huge time from his youth. For him I’m guessing 19.8x-high. For the 100 I will guess 10.01 basic.

He should have gone to the university of Houston to be coached by Carl Lewis, who obviously knows how to sprint and long jump. If i was Boiling I’d be looking to become a 400m runner rather than long jump/sprinter.
