Kid just makes plays. He is not afraid to block either. A huge plus.

I like his upside more than burt. Kid can be special.

For those curious - here are his Scores (SPARQ)

Height / Weight / 40 time / Shuttle / Vertical / Power Throw / SPARQ

6'5"  /  200 lbs  /  4.54  /  4.28  /  28.7"  /  31'  /  79.14

The Height/Weight/40 time combination is damn impressive.

Would be a nice addition with Gentry.

Would we possibly have room for both Newsome and Strickland? If not, I wonder if Newsome's decision date being sooner will come into play - I'd rather have a big WR in Strickland over another small speedster.

I lost some of my enthusiasm for Newsome when we got Irvin.  I always looked at Newsome as more of a returner (a dynamic one at that) but I think Irvin can handle those duties fairly well and we have needs at positions other than WR.

Strick will be hard to get from UCLA

Those Tech BMDs that backed Kingsbury's contract extension through 2020 after his first season must be

regretting that about now.

Tech seems to be on its way to becoming a train wreck.

People up here in the panhandle are starting to step off the Kingsbury bandwagon. However, most female fans still think he is hot. But that has never produced a "W."

He hasn't learned that while Rayban shades may look cool, they don't help with recruiting or coaching. However they might help you bake a kick ass cake, or score a date with an 18 year old cheerleader. "Get your grades up.. I mean guns up"!
