It should be a rather small % of white men can jump
A very small percentage of anyone can jump 27 feet. The ability to propel yourself that kind of distance is scattered among all races I think
Terrance Laird was 22 before he ran sub 10.33/20.41. Why is Boling too old to do it with superior pr's by far at 21?
Boling ran 20.06 at 20, shortly before he turned 21. He just pr'd in the lj by 22 centimeters in his first meet indoors, not exactly his ceiling this year in the long jump. He's also run 10..11/45.87. I agree that his sprint coaching is not the greatest at UGa, but that actually suggests that he will run a lot faster as a pro with different coaches and faster training partners, because the current setup has slowed his development a lot.
Was this a conversation when Grant Holloway came through Florida? For some reason, I thought he would have been a better decathlete than where this discussion is going?

UGa now has Caryl Smith-Gilbert for its head track coach, arguably the best sprint coach in the NCAA, Matt Boling is in very good hands now:

Should he transfer to Houston to work under the GOAT long jumper Carl Lewis?
Pff, what's Carl ever done in the long jump?.... Oh wait, you're right AND don't forget the head coach who also produced a near 8.40m jump, too.
Having said that, he'll never go home to Houston. Spoke to the UH head coach and he was not too keen on speaking about Boling dismissing U of H oming out of HS.
What is the typical progression for long jumpers (though I know all are different). UTs Marquis Goodwin jumped like 26' 10 in high school but he went off for football. How much does a 26' HS long jumper improve during a college? Should a 27' 21-year-old expect to improve a couple of feet during his career?
Good point. She has an incredible resume. Were the USC men as good at 100-200 as 400?

Ask any jumper with a mark of 8.50m+ (28 ft.) and ask when the improved.
