BYU football gave this guy a scholarship after meeting him for a total of 15 minutes, and their recruiting evaluation was based off a pickup game of basketball.  His only football experience is in camps because there are no local football teams where he's from.  Why?  He's 6'7 and 410 pounds.

 

If they can teach him to stay low good luck blocking that.

Saw that. Seems crazy, but honestly he isn't going to be able to move and will tire after one play. Is there such a thing as being too big?

Whew! I was praying like crazy this thread wasn't about the next 7' raw, but uber-athletic big that Crean had "discovered" in the Philippines.

Projects work in college football (Jason piere paul), but not as well (always an exception) in college basketball.

Ziggy Ansah is another good example of a project. A BYU kid found him on a mission trip and convinced him to come play a game in the states and make millions. Pretty much the same scenario. This guy has a cousin on the team I believe.
