Hearing from Jayme Thompson who talked to Mike Mitchell...that he will be a Buckeye next week.

Nice Article Barton. Sounds like Henry predictably topped the list but did so with amazing numbers. Is it fair to say Mitchell stole the show in terms of unexpected ability.
Why is this the first I am hearing of the TX CB who committed to Kansas with no other offers?

Always liked the idea of SPARQ and it's a great way to find some athletes that slipped under the radar.

Thompson or Mitchell a buckeye?
I don't think that is accurate about Mitchell.

Actually the SPARQ formula sucks. Vertical is weighted too heavily. Last time my son participated he had a better 40, shuttle and powerball than a teammate but worse vertical and scored lower than his teammate despite beating him in 3 of 4 categories.
I started looking at the scores of everyone then and none of it made sense. The player's body weight plays a big part too.

I guess we did, sorry! Might have been one too many pilsners already. Drinking and posting is not a good combo. Thank God for auto correct!

Henry's 42 inch vert at 242 lbs is truly unbelievable.

Obviously don't know the situation with your son but keep in mind that the size/weight of the participants is also a part of the equation.

Everything I've read says Mitchell won the SPARQ national championship. Not the other guy.

Running a 4.32 40 and throwing powerball 41.5 is just filthy. Brazil is simply an athlete. Dude is nasty.
