He's not Shai McKenzie, but he does pretty well.

James Oliver is pretty legit..... 4.3?! Did not know that. But hey, he won the D6SN Heisman, and that entails him winning a t shirt.

4.3 at that size? He should have many D1 offers by now...is that speed legit? I mean, Raghib Ismail didn't run that fast.

I saw him way back in week one, he was fast. I didn't see 4.3 fast. I'll catch a better look Friday. The game will be streamed over our website.

Great player, but looks more like 5-8, 170 to my eyeballs. The 4.3 is absolutely legit.

He is a great running back.
4.3 is a stretch .

No way he runs 4.3. I hate how everyone is high school runs a 4.4 or throws 90 mph. If he ran that fast he would have 2500 yards in D6 football by htis point. Most of these 4.3 kids are high 4.5 which is still very good. Not knocking the kid but lets not set expectations that can't be met.

I would also expect him to have multiple D1A offers as a DB or RB with that kind of size and speed, even as a HS junior.

Size and speed doesn't translate into a great football player. How great is his line up front? Does he have a plethora of moves to allows him to hit that 2nd and 3rd Gear in the open field.
