I think we need to remember a couple things:

1. This kid was 17 pplaying against guys who are 21 or so that have had numerous years in intense strength and conditioning programs. From a technique and strength standpoint, he wasn't even close to what he could be. He shouldn't have been on the field and I think the coaches would agree. Unfortunately, there wasn't a choice. He still was serviceable.

2. That tells you his potential. If he can get an attitude to go with that, as well as put in the work on his speed and strength, he could be a monster and I'm not talking about first round monster. I am talking about top 10 pick monster. He is so far from his peak.

The man is an athletic freak. We knew that coming out of high school. The question is whether he can become a football player or not. With those numbers, he's well worth the risk, but he's got a lot of growth ahead of him to be a consistent player in the Big 12.

I really hope hes starting this year, otherwise I see his play last year as a waste. I weiner how big he'll get? He was 265 last year but looked 220. Just can't wait to see him with a year in the weight room.

Dang wish he would have redshirted last year

 

[bfross]

He was 17 I think. Probably shouldn't have even been out there but we were so thin especially with Maggitt getting hurt.

He turned 18 in August, but he's still pretty young for a freshman.

Get ready for Pierre Aka (Nov. 18, 1994) & Dondre Daley (August 10, 1995)

Wow, I know I'm getting old when I remember the era when the players I'm watching were BORN...

Freudian slip??

 

[cymaniac17]

My god! What a freak! And he is 6'7 265..... Wow, watch out Big 12!

BTW where did he do this at? Did spring practices start?

 

[Aclone]

Reggie Hayward 2X.....hopefully

fify

we've had one?

Yep. Matt Blair. Could put a quarter on top of a backboard. that's why it's been too long.

 

[BusterCherry]

I was actually a little surprised how little of an impact he made as a freshman just from physical ability alone. .

agreed, but he was young for a freshmen. He was only 17 years old until August.

We'll see how it translates to the football field

I don't think spring practices have started. I know they have been having workouts with the strength coach for a couple of weeks though. Might have happened there.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Oni Omoile set the freshman bench record at like 500 or something like that IIRC. Not sure on the number, but definitely sure on the record setting. All the players were tweeting their bench records on friday since it was apparently a max out day.
