I know these look impressive to the untrained eye (that being mine), but does anyone know how these compare to other teams with all the "talent", i.e. ESPNs beloved Miami and FSU, which I hear are back this year?

FSU

I couldn't find anything online, but I talked to Bud the chief over at Tomahawk Nation and this is what he had to say.

We have a few guys who are legit sub 4.4 (meaning like if they run it at the combine, not Urban Meyer style). Bert Reed, WR #83 would run the 100 for FSU track if Fisher let him. He was legit under 4.4. Lamarcus Joyner, incoming frosh QB is legit under 4.4 and was a good track runner in HS. I'm 100% confident both of those would run sub 4.4 at the combine. We have a lot of guys who are in that 4.4 range.

So as far as speed is concerned, we're on par. In my opinion, on the average one of the things that separates the recruits from Virginia and those from Florida is the combination of speed and size. But we have a top notch strength and conditioning program, and with so few recruits expected to play right away by the time they see the field it's a moot point.

case in point...

on size & speed versus just size: Tony Gregory vs. David Wilson. Thanks for the follow-up.
