    Right^^. Or rupture a disc in his spine, or neck. i think pushing that much weight is unnecessary to attain and maintain strength and conditioning.

    Back in the day I did 585 and that was impressive, but this is a high school junior doing 605. That is some crazy amount of power.

    If your keeping score, that is the amount that the WR from Purdue did.

    Chad Lindberg's measurements from the Under Armour camp this past weekend --
    6'6, 325 with a 81" wingspan, 35" arm measurement, and 9.5" hands.
    Built to be an OT

    Wow. My take: a deceptively fast, smooth runner with effortless moves who just won't go down. With SC, UCLA, ASU and U of AZ all down, the Southwest part of the country is starting to look like ours for the picking.

    I just know I don't want to get run over by ANY college running back, let alone one who can squat 600+ lbs.

    For a little perspective, when I was a HS Senior in the 1980's the low 400s was the highest anyone squatted on my 4A team (next-to-highest classification back then). And that was as a max, not doing sets. Here we have a skill position player doing sets of squats in the low 600s!

    I like M Wilson better than Demas, but I’d like them both if we can for sure.

    Guys, dont lose focus here. The squat is just a distraction. I want to see his forearm measurements...

    This one keeps trending in our direction
    Would be a big get
    He will likely end up as a high-4 or maybe a 5-star

    4th_floor Dude, where's my laptop?

    A cow can defend itself well against Aggy. Aggy will stick with sheep.

    Big Willie Tyler says our coaches told him we will give an answer as to whether he has an offer or not in the next couple weeks.

    Probably depends on the the answer of the other 2 grad transfers. I say they take 2 out of 3.

    Some info from EJ Holland on the visitors
    Milton -- one of the most talented prospects in the country ...has very high interest in the program...
    Eaton -- visited for junior day last weekend and came away with an offer. Texas is surging as the favorite ... so getting him back to campus speaks volumes ... With that said, ... one of the hottest recruits in the nation.
    Washington -- .. also at Texas junior day and on several occasions before that. Texas appears to be separating itself from the pack ... was originally supposed to commit in July but is now looking at Dec
    Alford -- ... also on campus for junior day ... Getting him back ... is huge for his recruitment as the staff will get to spend more individual time with him. Alford is a versatile DB with the ability to play corner or safety ... most likely fit is at nickel. Texas, LSU and aggy are all major players early
    Jackson (2021) -- notched an offer during his junior day weekend... ou considered the heavy favorite .... The fact that he’s coming in for the second consecutive weekend gives us reason to be optimistic moving forward.
