If you are talking about KP Skyles, his best time in 100 last year was a 11.98 and does not show him running any races yet this year. A time of 11.98 is far from what I would consider fast, and find it hard to believe he runs a 4.3 or even a 4.4 in the 40, if this is as fast as he can run a 100.

Skyles fastest 100m last year was a 11.74, and even that is not considered fast, good but not fast. KP is just really quick off the line. I have seen several combines and forty times are the event everybody seems to judge or compare. How accurate are they? Well, some will say the only accurate times are from a lazer, others bring up the surfaces they were run on , others say that college coaches have relied on the 'old' hand timed as golden since the coaches have been doing this for years and years. Regardless of all of this, it really comes down to who you want to believe . The recruiting database on espn prospects has 40 times posted and there Skyles time in March 2010 was electronic 4.52 , which is very fast.
