Brandt-Sims can fly - TrumpCard - 04-12-2015

Here's the relevant section about Brandt-Sims' performance at the meet against kal this weekened:
"Isaiah Brandt-Sims, also a receiver for the Cardinal football team, captured the mens 100 and 200 -- the latter in 20.93 to set a Stanford freshman record -- and established himself at No. 4 in school history. His 100 time of 10.53 makes him the No. 6 all-time performer at Stanford.
At Wenatchee High School, Brandt-Sims became the first in Washington history to win state championships in the 100 and 200 in the states highest classification all four years. He joined in late January and has trained exclusively with the track team this spring and has seen it pay off not only with the victories in only his second meet, but also with personal records in both races.
The 200 especially was a thing of beauty as Brandt-Sims reacted well, hugged the curve, and decisively broke away over the final 50 meters."

Watching him yesterday was a thrill. Beat is 200 best by close to a half second.Â
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - TrumpCard - 04-12-2015
Can he catch the ball? Would love to have a Tim Brown type WR.

Thanks for this, TC.
I've been an IBS fan ever since I saw some of those highlight reels when he was being recruited. He's been flying under the radar (vis a vis football) ever since, but I can't believe that Coach Shaw can continue to seemingly ignore him given his rare talents. The last athlete I can remember us having similar skills was a guy named James Lofton......
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - BobK - 04-13-2015
The coaches including Shaw are hardly ignoring him :)

What makes you think Shaw is ignoring him? The fact that he redshirted last year doesn't mean he's being ignored. Lots of freshmen redshirt, here and elsewhere.

Speaking of flying, Bryce Love ran a 10.61 in the 100m this weekend.
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - yvonne - 04-13-2015
10.x in the men's 100 is not considered flying in this day and age.
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - BobK - 04-13-2015
It is certainly flying when talking a Stanford sprinter. ;D
Great about Love, we can hope he does both sports.Â
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - OutsiderFan - 04-13-2015
Between McCaffrey, IBS, Love, and Rector, Stanford will be able to put quite a lot of speed on the field. The question is will it be deployed in a way that maximizes its value in terms of ability to stretch the field vertically and horizontally.
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - BostonCard - 04-13-2015
The NCAA record is 9.89 seconds in the 100.

Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - yvonne - 04-13-2015
9.89 is about 150 in the men's all-time list. 10.6 wouldn't even make the top 2000
Re: Brandt-Sims can fly - BobK - 04-13-2015
9.89 would have been the 4th fastest in the world last year
Brandt-Sims beat one judged the 6th fastest college player 2014
Brandt-Sims is now 4th and 6th fastest in Stanford history in the two sprints
Quite an accomplishment.Â
