That wasn't really a 'no'.

Thanx for heads up & link. Becoming a favorite, 4.31 probably having something to do w/that. Only seen one piece of film, liken him a little to Deonte Thompson, obvious reasons. Like to know more about his ball skills. |

Will be on the road soon visiting UCLA, USC, and Tennessee and possibly some other SEC schools. Claims no leader and says his visit to the OSU went well. Interested in Wisconsin but not hearing as much from them. James is still wide open.

From TheWolverine...talks about his visit to UM for a spring practice yesterday. Talks about talking with RR and how he could fit in RR's system. Will visit UCLA later this month and may stop in at USC as well.

Anyone else question that 4.31 40? I've only seen a few clips but he looks nowhere near that elite Ginn/Flash Thomas speed.

According to Scout, James won the Michigan state championship in the 100m dash as a sophomore (no time listed).
Here's a link that indicates that James posted a 10.72 in the 100m: LINK. Maybe Ginn and Thomas could do a little bit better than that, but 10.72 is still flying.
Of course, "track speed" isn't the same thing as "football speed", but I think that it's safe to say that Jackson is "fast".... |

The orginal post has some track statistics that are wow-worthy. I think it's reasonable to doubt the 4.31 40 (probably hand-timed) but this kid seems like a track stud the likes of a Flash Thomas |

Not a lot of clips to get a good read, but track numbers don't lie...he has speed, and good change of direction...
