If it wasn't a violation of NCAA rules, BUS would be sending this guy flowers!
Size sure is impressive, that's for sure.

The rivals report I saw has him listed at 295, for what it's worth.
Says he benches 350, squats 600 and has a 3.0 GPA.

Those numbers sound pretty good but I would be more interested in a shuttle time or a 10 yard blast time.
The 40 time is slow for a DT. Does he play any offense???
Over the past 3 years look at the changes on this team. MORE BIG MEN. The D-line did well and the O-line improved. That comes from having more players that COMPETE for playing time and having a quality practice against real size competition.
40% BIG MEN. The foundation of any team!!!

He is over 300lbs now and is being recruited as an OG.

Booker is a "hoss". I have no idea about him getting qualified, but I do know the kid is a player. He started both ways for a 4A team here in northeast texas and was just a force. He does weigh all of 300lbs btw.

you should have stopped after the shuttle time comment.. honestly when is a dt ever goin to run more than 8 yds.. all I care about in DT is an Alan Adami heart, size, and quickness.. high squat ='s explosiveness which means quickness...

Booker committed to TCU according to Rivals. No mention of an offer from SMU but a previous report had him planning a visit to SMU on 1/06/06 which would be a prime visit date for the recruits you are targeting. Apparently, Northwestern and Iowa St were his other finalists and both offered.

Gee, I guess TCU must be having a bad year, they are now resorting to guys that we haven't even offered.

Booker decommitted from the Froggies and is switching to Okie St. I believe that makes 15 Texans for the Cowboys.

Just saw the rivals story on this guy. Check it out: he thinks Fort Worth is too "big-city" for him.
He would have really been lost in Dallas, then. Good luck to him in Stillwater.

Stillwater is a great college town.
