    I hope he drops about 25 and becomes the next Faneca.

    Nice quotes in this article:

    I see him at OG as well and he likes the inside better.

    Glad to see this. LSU seems to have been a little thin on the OL over the last few years. We've recruited some good ones, but they haven't stuck around. Remember Zhamal Thomas and some other good ones were lost along the way.

    I'm not comfortable with our depth at center. T-Bob has been hurt a lot. We have needs on the OL, good opportunity for guys to come in and help out.

    At the 2009 New Orleans combine he was 6-2, 350lb. The weight seems right, but if he is really 6-2 he isn't as big as advertised and would obviously be overweight. The kid went from being 6-5 when I first saw his stats to 6-2. Looks like an OG. Anyone know if the scout listing is a misprint?

    Scout has 6'4 330 and it is in the recent articles too so I assume they are confirmed from when he committed.

    I will try to dig deeper.

    A shorter G is not a problem since they are playing inside so much to gain leverage on a DT. However, a 6'2 350lb G is waaaaaay too big...

    I doubt that is true.

    no way the guy is 6'2. I've watched him play multiple times and he's at least 6'4

    Helmet and pads may add to that.
