    I know he probably loves basketball but he should have tried to play WR in college. With that explosiveness I could just see him having a shot at the NFL if he could run even an average route.

    Jake, that guy should spend one year post college just learning how to run wide receiver routes, slim down a bit, and work on his forty yard dash time. Other guys have done it and made it big in the NFL, and they never played a down of college football. A 50 inch vertical jump on a goal line route...yikes.

    He just got a BIG plug on Jim Rome, "Rome is Burning". He said the college slam dunk needed him more than he needs them. Nothing but glowing praise for the young man from Rome.
