jabi, I agree and I guess that's what I've been trying to say.

Yes, Ketch has lost ALOT of weight!!


Also agree that I take coaches (Fran - Mack - Stoops) more seriously than the Rivals guys...just like how rivals had Bobino WAY TOO LOW last year. He'll either start this year and at the very least play half the downs per game. Bobino is a PLAYA!!

Rashard Bobino? How big is he anyway?

From playing against him our junior year, I think he was around 6'3 and around 230 or so. It's been a while but he was a big guy. Quick off the edge too, no question about that.

I must be thinking of someone else, I thought he was only 5'9 or 5'10ish.

5'11
235lbs.

There was someone at Rivals (national guy that had some stroke) that thought he wouldn't play a down at Texas and gave him 2 stars.

Pretty much EVERYONE that saw him live and in the all star games couldn't understand that assessment.

Turns out he's a PLAYA and Chizik is trying to find a way to get him on the field somehow. Problem is he's best suited for Aaron Harris position (Mike) and the AA Harris isn't going to be moved. Bobino hits like a MACK TRUCK and plays relentlessly.

Bobino is a midget. Listed at 5'11", but this is from the same school that listed Roy Williams as 6'5".

Law, you're funny!

He's definitely not tall and that is the knock on him. He's no shorter than 5'10 and most people say he's a legit 5'11"....Singletary and Zach Thomas both were short LB's. Fact is that he's a hard nosed player that has turned eveyrone heads since he's arrived and UT has some pretty salty talent! The fact that they're trying to get him on the field should say something.


I guess you think aTm & Fran never inflate weights and heights....just UT!

Never said he wasn't a player. Just said he was short. (Dat is probably no taller than 5'11"

Never said nobody else inflates numbers. Just pointed out an example where MackIII's tape measure was off by nearly 3 inches.

lj -

look at the height/weights of the most recent recruiting class on the aggieathletics site and compare those numbers to the Rivals numbers. It looks like they are pretty honest and the Rivals numbers are inflated.

I agree that it is normally the practice to inflate your own team's measurements, but I noticed that it wasnt necessarily the case with the most recent class.

deuces, the reasons are there are so many camps (Nike, Scout, Rivals, etc...) where these guys are measured and weighed.

Yeah, but you would think that Rivals would get it more accurate because of all the camps.

the players from their camps they have spot on!
