... said LSU recruit Akiem Hicks about his gameday experience for the Alabama game: The wow factor: Hicks said he was nearly speechless at the sights and sounds of game day at LSU, and this coming from a young man who has the gift of gab. "It was the most amazing experience of my life," he said. http://www.sacbee.com/394/story/1406620.html
It's great to see game day at Tiger Stadium through the eyes of someone like Hicks. When you've been to so many games the electricity starts to fade a little. There's just no replacing those first games you ever walked into Tiger Stadium and took it all in.
I like this pickup personally but how quick is this guy for his size? No offense, but LSU is seriously lacking speed off the edge. I think hes going to end up at DT for us mostly but damn, hes kinda tall for a DT. How is he going to get leverage? Not many DTs are as tall as him in the NFL.
