His athletic ability and ball skills remind me of a WR. Point being, 5'10" DBs are common and typically solid

Top receivers in 2011 for each Big12 Team:

Baylor - Kendall Wright 5' 10"
Kansas - DJ Beshears 5' 9"
Kansas St - Chris Harper 6' 1"
Okie State - Justin Blackmon 6' 1"
Oklahoma - Ryan Broyles 5' 11"
TCU - Josh Boyce 6' 0"
Texas - Mike Davis 6' 2"
Texas Tech - Eric Ward 6' 0"
WVU - Tavon Austin 5' 9"

Someone want to tell me what's wrong with a 5'10 DB when more than half of the leading receivers in the conference last year are 6ft or under?

But I should take 2 inches off that, right?

Send us your bank routing number and relevant information, we'll figure out how tall you are from that.

Rob a convenience store and then you can post the screen shot they take of you fleeing the store.

Nothing. This is just the standard daily "our recruiting sux" trolling that happens after every commit we get.

Yep, since this guys has 3 stars and offers from other BCS schools we have to bust on him for not being 6'2.

Well while we are at it, might as well give him grief for his name too. I mean D.A.? What is he too lazy to use his full name, he has to abbrevieate? DO NOT WANT!!! lol

Oh just in case

**NickTheGreat** · 07-16-2012, 12:26 PM

I'm always up for some good secondary guys. Kinda has been a strong suit for us lately

**ricochet** · 07-16-2012, 01:26 PM

This height discussion brings up a question. For a defensive back wouldn't something like standing reach be a much more useful number than height? Until DBs start heading the ball like soccer players I care a lot more about where their hand is than where their head is.

Yes. 40 and shuttle times run in full gear would be a lot more useful than those run in shorts, too, but that's not what we get.

Despite the obvious jokes coming from this post, you do realize this didn't make your point at all right? If every guy takes 1-2 inches off, they are all still the same in relation to each other.

Have you taken a look at the commitment lists of those same teams? But go ahead, twist information any way you want do.
