Huh?
He's a 4*, but he's 22nd nationally. So he's a really high 4*.

Da Lama. I’ve watched about half of their practices this year I’ve never seen anything like it. His speed is obvious. But he is so young and has no fear running between the tackles.
The best comparison I can come up with is Chauncey Billups. You watch and you just know.
I think he’s that kind of special.

Hell, I hope they're right about him, and he ends up in Boulder.

I coached against McCaffrey twice (his Junior and Senior years) and he is still to this day, the best high school player I've ever seen in person. I'll have to watch Sawchuk this season and see how he compares from my personal eye test.
I was lucky enough to be teaching in Miami in 2000-2001. The school where I taught played Coral Gables and I got to witness a young Frank Gore annihilate our team. We were one of the better teams in Florida too. It didn’t matter. That was crazy.
The team I coached for here in CO is one of the traditional (last 8-10 years) powers in 5A and McCaffrey made us look like a JV team. I'll be interested to see what Sawchuk looks like this year.

He's a 4 star on 247, but he's a five star on 247's composite rating system.

The 247Sports Composite Rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index capping at 1.0000, which indicates a consensus No. 1 prospect across all services.
The 247Sports Composite Rating is the industry's most comprehensive and unbiased prospect ranking and is also used to generate 247Sports Team Recruiting Rankings.

He's so fast. Glad we are getting him out to Boulder regularly.
Olympics are this Summer. If he has a legitimate shot, I feel like he would be able to do that and play CFB. If he's not Olympic bound this time, then he can try again in 4 years.

A 60 time of 6.77 extrapolates to approximately 10.39 in the 100 meters. That is FAST and certainly puts him on a long term plan to compete with the elites in track and field. However, there will be between 5-8 high school athletes who will run under 6.77 almost every year. Given this fact and the fact that Track doesn't have the earning potential, it would be silly of the young man to focus solely on track or even to contemplate making a choice to go one way or the other at this age.
Going to have to find my way down to watch a game of his next year and I am sure I will see him on the track later this spring.
I think training for the Olympics is something you do full time.
Sounds to me like he might be just a little short of that kind of ability.
He wouldn't be hoping for the 2020 olympics anyways, guys. Im just guessing it would be incredibly rare if not completely unheard of for a 16 year old to make the Olympic team as a sprinter.
