father5 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 THAT kid is imposing, whoa! Quote Link to comment
bbeerma2 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 THAT kid is imposing, whoa! 100 inch wingspan is impossible. That is a measurement of his standing reach. He places his hands above his head and it basically means his height (close to 80 inches) plus his arms another 20+ inches over his head is his reach. Not an immensely important measurable.

It is a measurable that matters for D-Lineman that have to get their hands up and disrupt the passing game. Quote Link to comment
we.are.husker.nation Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I hope its really down to us and oregon. Its still way early, but this would be a HUGE get. He could learn from a monster like Suh. He could be Suh's apprentice. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well, except that Suh will be gone by the time Uko would get here. I just noticed we're on his favorites. How freakin' awesome is that? Quote Link to comment
