UND92,96 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 mans hes fast. runs the 40 in a 4.37 heres a video of him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MjtxOri4rE Hmmm...a smallish, very fast returner/receiver who wears #18...where have I seen that before? Quote
gfhockey Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 My favorite part of the video is the missed field goal and he takes it back 103 yards or somthing. that was against decnet competition too as it look liekd that was the canadian all star game. we have a new #18. Quote

Do canadian prep and colleges play under the same rules as the CFL? Quote
UND92,96 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Do canadian prep and colleges play under the same rules as the CFL? I believe so. Quote
Big#75 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I believe so. I assume UND has had plenty of Canadian kids play for them. Do they have trouble adapting to the american game Quote
GeauxSioux Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Why do I have a feeling that we are going to be hearing the music "La Bamba" a lot in the next few years? Quote
Dagger Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Did Duraney White, the Canadian receiver previously mentioned on this site, ever commit to us like certain websites had listed he had? Quote
SiouxCrew11 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Did Duraney White, the Canadian receiver previously mentioned on this site, ever commit to us like certain websites had listed he had? Quick question, So do Fonseca de la silva and Bamba both come in as freshman like the rest of the class or are they considered more of a transfer student? More importantly will we see them on the field next year for the Sioux! I hope so. I'd love to see Rosario, Bamba, Fonseca, and maybe Heimler get some playing time next year. I would however not be objective to redshirting heimler, and I hope sutton redshirts because of our depth at RB. Quote
supersioux Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Hmmm...a smallish, very fast returner/receiver who wears #18...where have I seen that before? He looks even smaller than Weston, but he does look fast. Quote
UND Fan Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 He looks even smaller than Weston, but he does look fast. The kid seems to have great speed and agility - maybe we do have another Dressler!! Quote
GeauxSioux Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 According to the press release he is 6' and 186 pounds. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 So do Fonseca de la silva and Bamba both come in as freshman like the rest of the class or are they considered more of a transfer student? It says Bamba was at a "(Name here) College" prep school which implies to me a prep school associated with a college, and thus they'd be freshmen. Rylan Kaip came from "Athol Murray College of Notre Dame" (the Notre Dame Hounds) so using the word "college" in a different context than we're used to seems common "north of the border". Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 According to the press release he is 6' and 186 pounds. in other words, 2 inches taller than Weston but only an inch taller than Ryan I believe. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 in other words, 2 inches taller than Weston but only an inch taller than Ryan I believe. According to the roster that would be 4 inches taller than Weston and 5 inches taller than Ryan Dressler. It would be 1 inch taller and 5 pounds lighter than Ryan Chappell. Quote

I would however not be objective to redshirting heimler, and I hope sutton redshirts because of our depth at RB. I think the chances are good that Bamba will be the primary kick/punt returner next season. Fonseca is older than your average freshman, so although the linebacker positions are difficult to learn in the UND system, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't red shirt. Watkins and Cameron (as a punter) are the other freshmen who have a really good chance to play next year IMO. Benjamin may also have a shot. Quote

That was a brain fart in which my mind told me that a foot was only 10 inches. MY BAD! Quote

Although I would even say that 5'8 is a stretch for W. Dressler Quote
star2city Posted February 25, 2008 Author Posted February 25, 2008 If that is electronically timed, thats just not fast that is amazing. Would be top ten at last years NFL combine. WOW Is there any internet confirmation of this 4.37 time? This site lists his time as 4.66, although it is more than a year old. 4.37 vs Darren McFadden's 4.33 at NFL combine Darren McFadden, who is represented by Conley and contract agent Ian Greengross, may have outrun the questions. That Quote
Big#75 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Maybe 4.37 is in Canadian time. It is probably hand timed..... a hand timed 4.37 is probably closer to a 4.45 electronically timed... if you watch the NFL combine the times they give as the guys run are hand timed... Later they will give you the official time (electronic) which is always .05 to .1 secs slower. Quote

The fastest 40 recorded this past off-season by a UND player was 4.42 by Ryan Chappell, which was also most likely hand-timed. While it would be great if Bamba were as fast as Chappell, I'm certainly not expecting it. Quote

While it would be great if Bamba were as fast as Chappell, I'm certainly not expecting it. 0.24 seconds is the standard for converting hand timed to fully automatic times in track Quote
gfhockey Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 http://youtube.com/watch?v=-MjtxOri4rE&feature=related 4 seconds in to this video it says 4.37. saw a nother video on youtube siad a 4.39 but couldnt find it again. Look at this ugys sat score also. haha hes pretty smart. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Maybe 4.37 is in Canadian time. Metric, eh? Quote
