That kid is a monster!!

Holy damn that kid is HUGE.

I am telling your Mom when she gets on here!

Ha. Alright, I apparently made a mistake having her introduce herself.

Back to this kid, I still haven't read the link, but Jesus I can't get over the size of his frame.

Greg Skrepenak (sp)?

I'm still under the opinion that was actually Miss Admin trying to stir things up again...

Hopefully he can grow some in a couple years.

How big is too big? I would be afraid Shane won't be able to see down field with this guy.

Maybe he can move over and help the BB team out when FB season is done!

Just stand in the middle of the lane man!

I am trying to picture a kid of this size walking down the hall of the high school. I can't even imagine it. I am guessing he has no problem taking peoples luch money.

On the field after a game. Can't remember what game when but my God was he huge.

Probably the largest human I have ever stood next to. I was in the 7th row for a Bulls game against Shaq. That guy is HUGE but I wasn't right next to him

He's 15 or 16 years old. OMG!!!

According to Wikipedia Greg is a measly 6'6 and 322 lbs. We're talking 6'10 and 360 lbs.

SERIOUSLY--- if the kid, at age 16 (give or take a couple months) is 360 pounds, with or without a 6-10 frame to "distribute" it over, you have
to wonder if he won't have health problems down the road...and I mean
the SHORT road (5-7 years).

Human anatomy is human anatomy. Heart size/capacity. Joint wear and tear. Respiratory ailments. I'm no physician but we could add much more to that list.

For repeated emphasis, it's the numbers "360" and especially "16" that bother me.

I agree Mike. Those numbers are shocking. Obviously his pedigree is playing a part of it but still his numbers would stack up to any NFL linemen.

Indeed, Will. And I forgot to add that, given that size at that adolescent age, you also have to wonder if his growth processes didn't have "HELP".
And I'm not talking about genes/heredity.

By "help" do you mean a disease like Acromegaly (andre the giant) or are you talking about PEDs or hormones? Only being 16 and given the gene pool he came from I would be shocked if he used anything to get this big.

I'm willing to bet he's just a big boy.

I meant THE LATTER. But if I were a betting man, I'd agree with you and say that's not the case. Could be a pituitary glad malfunction coupled with his gene pool.

Haha I love the scientific breakdown of this kid!

I want to see film and find out if this kid can move.

I'm sure he's quite the athlete, Admin. I can tell you one thing: I would NOT want to be anywhere in the pack NEAR this kid while running a 5K. Were I to get trampled, the emergency crew would need a handful of BODY BAGS, not a gurney...

In theory yes. But you also must consider how agile the kid is, if he can figure out how to open a Zip-Lock bag, if he is actually strong or just uses his weight to push kids around (a'la Will Campbell) and how much he will smell (I feel sorry for Shane).

Clearly a kid this big gets stuck in the middle at NT, right?

If he stays "low" (ahem, Will Campbell), he could clog a huge radius.

Of course, Trem has already talked with the kid:

Careful, possible recruiting violation...
