This is a big kid. If he has any quickness, then he might make a pretty good lineman.

He's so slow they timed his 40 with a sun dial.

 

I'm thinking he'll stay at Cal.

5.5 40 is pretty slow, I can run faster then that, but I dont weigh 310lbs either. He probably doesnt have the body fat% the Carricker has so the time might be misleading

Bear in mind - 40 times are not a real indication of an offensive lineman's potential or ability. Burst, quickness, quick feet, armspan, use of the hands, footwork - all of them are far more important. A 310 lb. kid with long arms, quick feet, and a good burst - I'll take that over a 310 lb. kid that runs a 4.9 40 but can't get his feet set quickly, gets too high in his set, has short arms that allows the defender to get into him, and so forth.

 

Not saying Cunningham is one or the other - just that the 40 time isn't a big deal in and of itself...

That was sort of what I meant when I said "if he has any quickness" although I did not use any of those words.

Not true, little buckaroo - you used "has" and "quickness"!
