a do-everything prep to watch

how about Grant Holloway this year? Looking at the list of top returners he has not only the No. 1 mark in the long jump, but also No. 3 in the long hurdles, No. 4 in the short hurdles and =No. 5 in the high jump.

Can he throw? Sign him up for the Dec.

He's now the national leader in the 55, 55H and LJ. That last at 25-11½, which makes him No. 3 on the all-time list.

Yikes, he's also a 7' HJer!

A 9:1 Range for HSL (55 - 500) and then two different (vertical and horizontal) jumps with great marks. As someone said, how about that trio of SP/JT/DT and can he learn to vault?

55m is 5" more than 60y for us dinosaurs, so

6.22 flat
and
7.22 hurdles

put him at about 6.1/7.1 (39"), which certainly shows us what a stud he is in a historical perspective. I'd say 6.0/7.0, but the gun is closer at 55m than 100m.

He seems to be having an off year for HJ. He is probably too busy with doing everything else.

[unclezadok]

It may be that he has hardly done the HJ this year, considering his schedule. I think he is 6-2, 180, so basic size would not be an obstacle to the decathlon. He could eventually be a faster version of Ashton Eaton. Of course he plays football. But multi fans have to fantasize about prospects and every once in a while they come true.

Video for what I believe is his personal best HJ series from spring 2014. Chops his steps considerably on his first couple of approaches and then smooths it out a bit.

As for football, he turned down a football scholarship from UGA to take a track ride from Florida. But there is the possibility he could walk on to the UF football team.

If he does, he becomes a football player for scholarship purposes. And if he's any good, we lose him to the $iren allure of that sport.

Still, it's better than the usual situation.
