Loved him in Cabaret. He was pretty light on his feet for a man that size.

that boy looks nowhere close to filling out his frame. 6'6 330 a real possibility

That is an impressive offer list.

And he looked small next to Liza Minnelli.

That's just what I was thinking. Hard to believe someone can be 6'6" and look skinny. I got up to 270 once, and I didn't look skinny. Of course, I'm also not 6'6".
Hmmmm....

Hate to be a downer, but I am giving us about a .5% chance of getting this kid

Though I'm obviously not holding my breath, I'd give us better odds than that. Here's JJ's pitch: "Pipeline to the NFL" Since 2000, JJ has had six offensive linement selected in the NFL draft. That's as good or better than anyone Scout has offering him:

"My Coaches and my system can get you to the next level son"

Might be worth an extra 5% chance of signing him.

I'm pleased with all the offers but a few more commitments would be nice.

I hope you are right cadillac...would love to get this kid as I could see him being an anchor on our line for four solid years

A few quotes from the article:

"I plan to be committed before September 1st," he said. "I just want to find a place where I feel like I am at home. I have to feel like I am comfortable and that I can live where I am at. I also want to find coaches that I like and who I am comfortable with because they are essentially your family there. As for academics, I can get a good degree at any of the schools."

"Florida State offered me two or three days ago," Gray said. "I have 23 offers at this point. Some of the big ones are Texas Tech, Stanford, UCLA, Louisville, Nebraska, Kansas, Ole Miss, and some others."

Over the past few days he has been busy as he checked out Texas Tech. Visits to California on Sunday to see UCLA and Stanford are scheduled for next week.

Go anywhere but Tech.... please...

He went to Lubbock in June. I wouldn't worry.
