It's what they did last year. They had the kids hold off and then all announce their commitment the same weekend.

Why...is this some type of recruiting advantage? It does make it look like they are killing it on the recruiting trail.

THE IMPORTANCE OFTHE 40 YARD DASH
It is primarily run to evaluate the speed and acceleration of American football players by coaches and scouts particularly for the NFL Draft but also for collegiate recruiting. A player's recorded time for every position can have a heavy impact on his prospects in college or professional football.

OK! = 4.9 - 4.99
FAIR = 4.8 - 4.89
GOOD = 4.7 - 4.79

Royal arrived as a four-star defensive back out of powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas in 2020, but he wasn’t able to carve out a consistent path for playing time — offensively or defensively.
The Pitt coaching staff experimented with Royal’s positional flexibility during the 2022 season, but he was moved back to the defensive side of the ball for the 2023 season. He didn’t take any snaps defensively last season but did take 49 special teams snaps — recording a tackle against Virginia Tech.
Royal recorded 86 special teams snaps during his time at Pitt, and he will have two seasons of eligibility to carve out a role on the defensive side of the ball.
Pitt has a young, inexperienced cornerback room entering the 2024 season, one that was bolstered by the arrival of Kentucky transfer Jaremiah Anglin Jr. Sunday. It’s likely that Rylan Gandy will lead the room, and Rashad Battle, Tamon Lynum, Tamarion Crumpley and Noah Biglow are in the mix for playing time. Yardbarker.com
