Damn, I knew we were screwed when Weiss took that job. I hope doesnt call Bill Schoenhoft or James ONeal, we will really be screwed then...

He's a millionaire, married to a Playboy Centerfold, and he hit of one of the most memorable home runs of all-time. Plus, he has great bloodlines. Every school should want this guy!

Much the same update (no helmet), but Boone does mention "Rico Suave" (Rico McCoy), his quote, not mine as being tough.

Anybody know anything about Earl Heyman? Might be worth a look. There were a few gems noticed at last years All American game maybe this guy is this years.

Boone is the best lineman that we have landed in a very long time. How nice would it be to have an All American tackle? How long has it been?

Does Mitchum count?

or do you mean college AA?

what 10 years since we had two all american tackles on the same line at the same time

and both were pro bowlers eventually

Is he going to start off as a guard first and eventually move to tackle or is he tackle all the way ?

[wadc45]

He would make a hell of a pulling guard...but I think he may be a tackle all the way...

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I believe he is a tacke all the way if I remember correctly.....

I believe you're right. He seems like the prototypical tackle. Reminds a lot of Tony Boselli, and that ain't a bad thing.

At his size he sounds like a tackle all the way.

The scary part to me is how lean he is. He looks to have minimal body fat. Put him in the weight room for a season [no, I am in no way suggesting a RS] and this guy will be a monster. He could easily add another 30-40 lbs to that frame, maybe more.

Its too bad Sims is a senior this year, the left side of the line in 06 could have been unreal for running behind..... I guess Mitchum will just have to step in beside him.
