The first thing Hugh freeze does when recruiting #shorts 

He's checking for Ankle Monitors to see if they have legal problems LOL

Penn use to have player grab their ankles to see how athletic they were😮

Anyone else check their ankles after watching this? Hahaha

It's true. People with thicker ankles have a longer calf muscle and less tendon, so the muscle extends further down the leg making ankles appear larger. Skinny ankles have nothing but long stretchy tendon running to them. Makes like a spring

Lineman have left the chat

I just checked mine and holy shit did they miss a great athlete.

I showed him my ankles and then he wanted to see my calves and then he wanted to see my thighs and it just didn't end from there.

This is the Academic Advisor from Last Chance U!! Glad she's still working hard you could tell she loved those young men.

That makes total sense. I am an arm wrestling coach. I only pick players with skinny arms.

Mans had an ankle fetish

At Penn State , Jerry Sandusky had us grab our ankles and got behind us….the fastest guys running away usually made the team.

This lady made me happy to realize I am considered athletic.

It’s weird but mostly true if you look at the fastest guys in NFL history. All skinny calves and ankles. Deion Sanders swears by this too. Used to talk about it at the combine

As a guy with skinny ankles, I gotta say I’m unathletic and my ankle snapped many times during my athletic career lol

This has been a thing for a while. Its pretty true honestly

Me looking at my ankles now

My father was a scout in the NBA. He would look at the ankles of potential draftees. According to dad, the angle of the Achilles tendon would tell him how athletic a person was. Those who's heals stuck out from the foot was his evidence of their ability to run and jump. How thin their leg was below the knee was also what he looked at.

There might actually be some truth to that. The Kalenjin Tribe of Kenya produces some of the best distance runners in the world, and I read that scientists attribute that to the slenderness of the ankles and lower calves.

To be fair, he does it with women also. He wants to see if they can fit their hands around their ankles.

Makes me think of tracy mcgrady, dude was so skinny but so strong and athletic. Sadly injuries ruined him

He's basically looking to see the attachment points of their calves. If the attachment point is lower, that's where the term kankles comes from, and usually that lower attachment point translates into less athleticism.

That's facts! Prime said the exact same thing.

I’m with coach.

He is so right! I think the same thing! Cankles are unsightly and heavy!

Works same for dating. If your dating a girl with big ankles she's gonna be huge when she gets older. God a big base for a reason

In bodybuilding, skinny ankles and wrists also gives a more aesthetic look, and most of the top BBers have them. Interesting that this might also be an indication of athleticism.

As an athlete with skinny ankles I can say it’s true, I have always excelled in every sport I tried, every sport except boxing. I have fractured both wrist twice. Had to call the quits on that.

It started with ankles, and now I'm sitting, crying in the shower rocking back and forth!

He’s not lying!

A better sign that someone is athletic is the length of their Achilles. The longer the Achilles the more power and explosiveness they normally are

Is that Brittany from 'Last Chance U' on Netflix?? 🤔

Just checked mine and it checks out. Nice!

Look from the back to the front. The Achilles is thin from the heel up and towards the front of the foot usually they are athletic.

Makes since. Grasshoppers are pretty athletic.

I guess Nick Saban is doing it wrong…. The ankle system has never failed 😂

He’d look at me and I’d be in… until he saw me run full speed. 😅

My Dad coached Div 2 basketball he actually used to say this.

I’m not sure how things were done at Ole Miss, but I’ve never seen this done at Liberty. I was with the team two of the four years he was there, and one of those I was heavily involved in recruiting. I never once saw him do this.

Agree! Factual And True!!

Then I'm athletic asf😂😂😂

I got skinny ankles also use to be super athletic when I was younger… also broke both feet/legs multiple times… I’d say once a year for a couple decades lol

That really helped vs Alabama last weekend. 😅

Facts!! There knees too!!

True statement! Check the lower legs of college and professional offensive and defensive linemen for proof

What about Cankle? Are they any good?

This is true. You won’t ever see some loaf of bread built ankle dudes out there going off!

Not going to lie i have always thought the same since i was in 6th grade as a up and coming athlete. I was about to be 12 and I was 5'10 and all the local P A L coaches would come to our school for open gym Fridays to watch me play. I noticed many of the coaches would ask about my ankles and if they were ok. I noticied the high flying, fast running players all had thick calves but slim ankles. WOW I thought I only thought like that.

Chad Johnson does the same thing with his women

And for the cheerleaders he prefers thickness 😂😂

ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!!!!!

Skinny ankle and high calf is sign of a good athlete. You get around enough coaches recruiting you’ll hear that

Ray Charles used to judge by how thick your wrist was. Two geniuses can't be wrong.

100% true. One reason I married my wife was because of her attraction skinny ankles. I told my son to always avoid a girl with fat ankles.

Bill Parcells used to do the same thing.

Much better than what Jerry Sandusky did, he only recruited player by having them pull they’re pants down

Cool 😎 Yes Sir and Yes Ma'am. Hugh Freeze have never won 🏆 a College Football Championship. Coach Nick Saban knows the Process. Thank you

Truth, my ankles are like twigs and I’m super athletic when playing my 6 year old on our 7 foot basketball goal

Skinny ankles, high cal a, Bo legged and pigeon toed are always the best athletes

If you’re looking for a WR yeah. The fastest guys have super skinny ankles. You’re not durable at all but you don’t get tired. You’re fast for 4 quarters.

This is funny because my son is super athletic but you’d never know just looking at him. 6’2 freshman with a 6’5 wingspan. Can absolutely jump. Hell of a pitcher and center fielder and leaves teammates in awe from the sht he does. Walks off like it was nothing. Not in an egotistical way but in a humble I didn’t know that was good type of way

Great recruiting technique. Just remember not to call prostitutes from your university phone

That's right baby! Thin is in, on the ankles! 👊🏾😎👌🏾

TRUE; tennis coach here, skinny ankles mean Fast Twitch!

Got me checking out my ankles 😂

This is partially true, more so for outside defenders and receivers

tank from War Eagle

Hes not looking at the ankle width. Hes looking at the bow of the ankle. Good way of seeing if a athlete is injury prone or not.

Samoans refute that😂😂😂🎉❤

I love BRITNEY WAGNER!

This the chick from last chance u?

Funny how it failed to win a national championship, so clearly just being athletic ain’t enough

Stop Cankle hate!

This is old school, not always true but 80% of the time it is.

There’s definitely some truth to this. The fast, wirey guys have skinny ankles but the rest of the leg has muscle. Bigger dudes built for power it’s like a straight line down the leg

Very good point

He's checking the length of their Achilles tendons. Long tendons act like powerful rubber bands

This is true. However it doesn't translate 100% of the time with catching the deep ball. But if the pkayed thd outfield in little league and high school. It almost guaranteed that they are a great athlete with good ball tracking skills so they end up catching the ball. If not, they're going to make a helluva db!!!!

I'm 280 with skinny ankles, what's that say?

He should have looked at Jalan Milroe’s ankle last night at that Auburn game

He is checking for ankle monitors. You got one, you going places as a WR or someone on defense lol

It kind of makes sense. Could also test their flexibility

“And I’m standing there like… coach don’t you mean me??” 👨

There is some truth to that; however, that ankle thing has many facets attached to it. Though true it does attribute to how fast an athlete is…still with other factors involved.

They should have checked RG3, I saw is legs and said he won't last long. No joke.

This is true. I have skinny ankles and I’m a freaking beast!

Thin joints so u build big calves. So good vertical equals good 40 times.

This is actually very very true but it's something that's been around since slavery

Everyone checking their ankles rn 😂

This is true! This is how I choose my women!

I'm sure a lot of coaches do something like this when they meet with recruits in person

He is now a legend they call him coach Forrest Gump

Thank uuu

True. Athletic people dont have Kankles

Don't forget to check for the extra tendon in the foot that makes them jump higher.. 😉

Moral of story… have skinny ankles or freeze will put you on ice

I’ve seen this with lineman but with neck size. The bigger the neck of a high school athlete the more muscle you can put on them.

Hillary, dying inside after hearing this story.

The now-deceased sports announcer Jimmy the Greek, spoke on these special abilities of black athletes long ago.

Lowkey maybe skinny ankles=high calf and that’s for sure athletic

Love Brittany
