No his indoor PR does not necessarily suggest the time he ran, but he has been capable of a 19.8x for two years he's ran a windy 19.64 in 2019(which covers to 19.84). He likely can run a tenth faster as he had no competition, he appeared to ease up slightly, and its the beginning of outdoor he may not be in peak shape.
He may not run faster but I can see him running 19.70 with a few more races.
I like this view, a bit, too.
Seeing him and Boling face off for conference AND NCAAs is gonna be a legit treat. They should both be rearing to go for those races, for sure.
What they have left for the trials may be up for debate, though. It's not unreasonable to question whether EITHER of them will have much left all the way through rounds then to the trials final after a season of fighting each other for conference and national titles. That ISN'T to say it's impossible. But you have to wonder how any system/plan, no matter how nuanced, could ask ANY runner to make it through their conferences, regionals, AND nationals....and THEN be ready to access their most "important" effort at the trials FINAL after rounds with VETS, not just their peers. Those are practically all lined up in a row. Burnout would seem to be inevitable.
A sacrifice or two would also seem to be needed. Like maybe conference takes a back seat or something, or maybe skipping a 200m at conference entirely? Seems absurd, but aiming for a full/peaked effort at the trials might require that kind of thinking. Would either program, or runner, be willing to do that? With Georgia's search for points with Boling, I'm feeling like no. Maybe LSU and their history will make them more willing to make such moves? I dunno, it all remains to be seen.

What i noticed with boling on indoor is he had serious trouble when he hit the curve, so an outdoor 2 is going to be nuts, he has amazing top end speed and speed endurance, if laird hits 19.81 and has slower start then i can see boling turning out a 19.70 in his opener if he really goes for it

re: bannned i got

The writing seems to be o the wall for what Boling should be able to drop this season. Even if he somehow has LESS of an advantage outdoors to Laird (which doesn't make sense to me, but just providing the argument up front), it's hard to make any case that Laird is going to suddenly put big space between himself and Boling. Meaning, even if he beats Boling, that means they'll likely be Ryan ning 19.8s or 19.7s together with one guy edging out the other. Hell, for all we know, they might even have access to 19.6s this year. I dunno, seems crazy, ut it's hard to discount the possibility now.

It should make for some epic racing.

re: Whatley

The 200m team is gonna be crazy. The favorites would be Lyles, Norman and Bednarek. These young guys are coming with the pressure tho. Since Norman is too soft and not running the 200m than that opens it up for someone.

This kid was actually closing on Boling in the indoor 200ms. His form is amazing and he looks really small. The extra year had helped soooo many athletes and has hurt a ton too. Is what it is.

re: bannned i got

Laird actually had the better endurance and form. As Boling was falling apart Laird was smooth as silk catching him every stride.

These guys aren’t running no 19.6 tho lol. Come on now. Lol.

It takes less than fifteen minutes of research to see the contrary perspective. Grant Holloway won the indoor 2019 NCAA 60m dash and 60m hurdles, placed third in the long jump and ran on the 4x4. He went on to break the collegiate record in the hurdles in the spring. Then, though he did not show his best form until the moment, he went on to win the gold medal in Doha in the 110H hurdles against the defending Olympic champion and many others. Grant is a freak athlete but he demonstrated that it is totally doable - Laird has much less on his plate as a 100/200/maybe 4x4 guy than Grant did as a jumper, sprinter, and hurdler.
Grant Holloway won the 110H because the Jamaican hurdler ran into Ortega. If he did not obstruct him, Ortega would have won the gold. For your Holloway, I raise you Sha'carri Richardson and Michael Norma who bath ran world class times that would have seen them medal at Worlds. But were nowhere to be found come Worlds. As Ato Bolden continues to state, NCAA athletes run on fumes come global championships.

This is a fact. There might be a few outliers like Grant but it happens every year with college kids. Happened with Richardson on the women’s side and Oduru on the men’s a couple years back.

I posted before maybe laird can run high 19.6 and I can see his spits were 10.39 and 9.42, he start looked sloppy and he eased up at the end. I can see him splitting 10.3 and 9.35 in the perfect race
