It might be asking a lot but that doesn't change what I said. We should be stomping the dog snot out of them, put them in their place where they belong, under our heels, and keep them there.

Really?
You know more about it than their own coaches? Sweet.

If Calhoun is claiming that he can't get exemptions from height weight requirements, yes. But when you read that article, that's not what's said. The author makes a common error: he sees a height limit and assumes it can't be exempted.Really?

As an athelete, you can go in outside of those requirements (look at a service academy bball roster). You just need to be in compliance with certain BMI requirements, which most top D1 athelete comply with.
I am a bit surprised at the claim by Calhoun that he's never had a lineman bigger than 255. I find that hard to believe because I follow army and navy pretty closely.

And this statement is just plain stupid, so I have to think s lot of his interview was hyperbole:
"I bet out of our two-deep, we might only have two that are even from this time zone," Calhoun said. "Which, that is really absurd."
Note that the Navy coach referenced the weight of his players being in the 280s. There are guys from Navy who played at 300+.

When I was at West Point the players were exempt while they were still playing but after their Firstie (Sr) season they had to get down to a height weight standard. They would be working their tail off from JAN on to get down so they could graduate. The height restriction is for certain branches, not all.If Calhoun is claiming that he can't get exemptions from height weight requirements, yes.

True statements, except I don't think any academy prohibits tall bball recruits.When I was at West Point the players were exempt while they were still playing but after their Firstie (Sr) season they had to get down to a height weight standard.

They just end up going restricted line.

pretty sure USMA only has a min height requirement not a max, other than restrictions by branch. Not sure for USNA or UAFATrue statements, except I don't think any academy prohibits tall bball recruits.When I was at West Point the players were exempt while they were still playing but after their Firstie (Sr) season they had to get down to a height weight standard.

Wisconsin falling apart at the seams? I'll believe that when I see it. Theres something in the water there in Madison. Were finding out, and if we arent yet, we're going to, that maybe Bielema isnt all that great of a coach afterall. But there's an established culture there in Madison that trickles all the way from the top. I dont see them going away anytime soon. Anderson wasnt even a comfy fit and they still rattled off wins.

That is for sure, I was one of the shorter guys in my class at 5'6". Was great for being an Armor Officer though, the Abrams interior felt roomy to me.

I like the "coach effect" ranking, but it does seem a little less than thorough or consistent. For Example, some of the coaches were listed separately for current school vs total, and some coaches were not. For example, Jim Grobe's time at Wake Forest was ignored.
I probably would have not included any of the 0-year or 1-year coaches' data either. Hard to draw conclusions based on that small of a sample size.
