Great info Woo.  I can't wait to see this kid develop into a big time SEC player.  He has the size, strength, and speed to get there.  In the mean time will probably earn some playing time on special teams. 

Every program needs 2 or 3 kids like this each year.  They grow up, mature, and learn the system and eventually get the starting role by their Jr or Sr year.  Great story.  I will be watching his progress.

Do you know of any other walkons/sleepers we should be tracking this fall?  I like rooting for long shots.   

[Harry Rex Vonner]

Wow!

AH, the sweet smell of success, thanks to CBMFP, and his recruiters. Am I worried about anything concerning this team? Well, we can't lose anymore vets from the OL. But, I have faith in our coaches.

[Harry Rex Vonner]

Not to put any pressure on the kid, but when I read this, I thought of one person.

Scotty Pippen.

The Scotty Pippen of Football? Nah. No pressure. 

Just amazing though how the kid grew that fast. Reminds one of Pippen's story.

[BuckeyeHog]

The Hogs have several interesting recruits coming in.

This kid is still growing and getting stronger. Watch some of his highlights. He flat out plows guys into the ground.

A couple of others that are interesting is the Whitehurst kid from GA, who is a play maker, and the Weir kid from Ontario. Both are outstanding athletes that nobody else paid attention.

CBMFP knows stuff.

WPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Harry Rex Vonner]

Buckeye, yep. He benched 255...18 reps in a row.

The NFL combine measures reps at 225.

Anyone know about this kid?

[Wooisme]

“If Arkansas would have offered a ping pong scholarship he would have jumped on it,” Tim Pruitt said. “He has always wanted to be a Razorback.”

I hope he can help!  It's always nice when "dreams come true".

See, See coaches BmfP and coach Caldwell are just one step closer to Samoa.  Polynesians can flat out play football. 

Would just love to get a connection going there.  They have their cultural center in HI and they ALL talk to each other between the islands being bound by culture.  Get one and others may follow.  Start out recruiting USCw and other PAC 12 cheaters.

I like the direction this program is taking.  Just jumped out of the 48 contiguous. ...........not counting the Canadian.

After looking more closely at his name.  I guess "Mitchell Loewen" might not be Polynesian.   Might have connections though and it is "closer" to Samoa.
