Three-star CB Ethan Bonner of The Woodlands (Texas) commits to NU while on an overnight visit.
He looked really fast on his film running receivers down from behind and across the field.He has the following track times/distances so far his junior year. These should improve over the next month or so and in his senior season. A good, explosive athlete.
100m - 11.33
200m - 22.04
400m - 49.08
LJ - 21'7"
TJ - 45'2.5"

I liked seeing him beat receivers to the the ball over and over. Especially liked the long chase down where he showed speed plus the old Walker one-more-play mentality.Three-star CB Ethan Bonner of The Woodlands (Texas) commits to NU while on an overnight visit.
11.33 isn't really blazing. I remember some of our players in the past going sub 11. Those jump marks are ridiculous though.

A couple of years with a high quality physical fitness program which adds some meat to his bones while keeping or increasing his speed and he clearly can be a top B1G player.
Seeing him Saturday, it looks like he has the frame to add good weight. Looked quite a bit bigger than Newsome, who I think we be a great player. Ethan played off the WR a little bit more than I expected to see in his tape, but I am sure that is the scheme he played. He did close very fast.
Yes those jumps are, esp. for a junior.11.33 isn't really blazing. I remember some of our players in the past going sub 11. Those jump marks are ridiculous though.
This looks like it could be one of those under the radar gets. Very exciting.
This always gets me. How can the big recruiting sites not have a rating for a guy with a bevy of offers, including 3 power 5's AND has been playing high level competion? His highlight show him playing at Baylor, UT, and AT&T stadium! He just finished his Junior year and it's not like he is out of BF Egypt. I believe he even made some all area teams. Not even a 2 star, a zero star like Fitz. If anything, this kid should a chip on his shoulder.
C'mon man, get with it including Rivals.
Yes, FLA. Not taking a shot specifically at Rivals or any other rating service. However, my point is how or why does this happen when a kid gets plenty of offers and exposure?I'm pretty sure your comment means that you have checked around and are not only referring to Rivals. From what I can tell he has no rating on ESPN, Scout or 247.
You are acting like Rivals national guys GAF about anything outside the 250.

Not rated is not the same as rated with no stars. Also anti white bias at CB positionThis always gets me.

That's a pretty racist comment. What are you a Trumper?It's like Jeremy Lin and hoops. Only now we're talking about a white guy and the cornerback position.

Meh. Lots of good players, white and black, fall through the cracks of the Ratings Industy Media Journalistic Organizing Body (aka RIMJOB).Not rated is not the same as rated with no stars. Also anti white bias at CB position
200, 400, and jumps aren't bad. Would ideally like to see a better 100 out of a corner, but his tape is good enough that it isn't as much of a concern.

I think one of the things that people miss is we are getting guys much earlier in this class. I mean the very beginning of track season (Jr) and with almost two full years of track to go. In the past, we were not getting them till the summer at the earliest and often the fall of Sr. year. As you say by the end of this track season, times and distances likely improve and with another full year plus of physical maturation ... In BB, it might be a growth spurt and FB, a lot of new muscle.See my post above. Also, Nick VanHoose's best track time in the only season he ran track (senior year) was around 11.5s, and he was a very good CB for NU. Track times improve greatly over a track season and between years. His jump marks are very good but not great right now. I expect Bonner's LJ will approach 23' by the time he's finished high school, which would be excellent. His 200m and 400m times are excellent already for a junior, and though they are not as revealing of football talent as the other events, those are two tough races to run, particularly the 400m.
As GCG mentioned, his track results are not as relevant as his good showing on film.
