			<description><![CDATA[Jaret, I agree with you in the past. But 1 of the things I like about Caravelli is he admits when he makes mistakes and is not scared to try new things. Caravelli was at the MARFU tryout. I saw him personally.He is trying to make the availability to be seen transparent and all inclusive. I liked what he said to all of us at the camp. He has also personally been to 2 of the 3 territorial tryouts. His staff to the other. He will personally be at the west. When are the Pacific and Socal? they are open anyone can attend.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just to be nitpicky, there were 7 guys at the 2008 Olympics who broke 10 seconds. 6 guys did it in the final, but Marc Burns of T&T did it in the semis but slipped to 10.01 in the final. Out of 144 100 meters run by 80 of the fastest men in the world, only 15 were sub-10. That kind of speed is extraordinarily rare, requires a very narrow focus and for the athlete to be at the knife edge of training, and a fair helping of PEDs. No one with it is playing rugby.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Don't get hung up on just speed read the article Caravelli says he is looking for better athletes, that are faster, stronger, better rugby players. He says if he gets to spend more time with them than 5 days before they go to tournaments they will improve. I agree with him. Someone needs to raise money.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mr. Caso--I agree...chances are that those times were run on a rugby pitch after practice with a stop watch. Unless those times were FAT timed, those 100m times may as well be 10.5s or 10.9s...BTW, a 10.31 or better still makes money on the Golden League T&F circuit, so those guys aren't playing rugby anyway...Also, being fast is one thing, but being fast and athletic is another...Caravelli should be looking for athletes, not just guys who are just fast...remember, there's not much thinking in T&F, it's just run as fast as you can and hold on for dear life...That's why a lot of T&F guys won't pan out in rugby..too much decision making for them to be fast and a good athlete at the same time...Could Caravelli possibly convince John Capel and Walter Dix to play rugby?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I love the "how fast is fast" discussions. As of today, USA Track & Field lists 6 guys with sub-10 100m times and an additional 40 who have run 10.31 or better. Not one of them plays rugby. Many of them play football. I remember years ago when the Irish national 100m champ played wing on their national team. Wasn't David Campese a sprint champion in addition to being a rugger? It would be great to get some of that speed playing rugby for the USA. Who cares about Z's 100m time. He is fast on the pitch and has developed a good sidestep.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alain I can't find anything that cites either of those guys as having that type of speed Z apparently has Run a 10.5 but the difference between a 10.5 and Sub 10 is the difference between being a top 50 US High Scool Runner and being a top 10 International sprinter. Ability to run a 10.1 100m would have put him in contention for the GB Olympic team. You don't run a 10.1 as a pro athlete without it being noted. A true Sub-10s 100m time is reserved for the greatest track athletes in the world. It would be near impossible to both train for rugby and maintain a sub-10s 100m]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alain, I agree with most of your statement, but "No favoritism" is not true at all. Making the territorial all-stars and the all americans is very political. If you really want limited favoritism the US National coaches should be at the territorial try-outs and selections. Then if there is a player that is interesting, but not invited to play in the NASC they can receive an at-large invite to the National assembly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Brownj12, I think the point is that we need better athletes to win a gold medal. Plus Z ran a 10.2 Dan Norton from England runs a 10.1 100 you can see how he dominates when he has space. You can't teach speed. But look what he says, we need the whole package a complete rugby player. I like the pathway he has. Everyone is going to have a fair chance. No favoritism.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Brown I don't think Al is looking exclusively for guys running sub 10's but that is the goal, or the ideal bench mark if you will. He's aware that someone running Usian Bolt speed is extremely rare, but in an ideal world, that's the caliber of athlete he wants to put on the field. You may not find 7 guys running 9.95, but if you can get 5 running 10.3 you're off to a good start]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am hoping Caravelli is either embellishing or was misquoted, in the 2008 Olympics there were only 6 runners with sub-10 second times in the 100m. The fastest wings in the worl run in the 10.5-10.7 range, and as Z showed in the world cup Habanas 10.4 doesn't play any faster than his 10.7 when you are on the field. If this is really what he is looking for he should probably head to Jamaica and coach their national team, atleast they have 3 guys capable. No doubt we need worl class athletes, but being able to sprint at elite speeds doesn't do much when there is a guy in front of you.]]></description>
