    Uh, he's 6'6"... so his arms look like they should belong to someone only slightly taller than him, lol?

    Right, if you stand back and eyeball him, his arms look like he should be 1 inch taller:lol:

    I think what Deuce is alluding to is that he is similar to Patrick Ewing, tall, but his arm length looks like he could even be taller.

    Exactly what I was trying to say...thanks. His body doesn't fit his arms, so it could be a sign he'll go through a growth spurt and get a few inches taller. More of a reason to move him at DE.

    He could be huge. I bet he can add a load of muscle in a few years. I don't expect to see him playing until his RS soph/junior year.. but I expect him to be good. Getting those arms up in the passing-lane will be a nice bonus.

    He's kinda like Orakpo from Texas, look at him coming out of high school, 6' 3" 213lbs. This past year he was a monster off the edge, big and fast.

    Yep, he is enjoying the frigid temps I am sure.

    Good for him, it's free.

    All LSU on Feb. 4th.

    You do realize how absurd a rumor that is, don't you?
