Congratulations Lee, and congratulations coaches. Always like it when a big man leads the way, on the field and in recruiting. We've broken the ice .... now let's add another. And another. And another.

How many seniors are we losing off the offensive line this year? Is Brad Kieschnick the only one? Even if he is, I'd like to see at least 3 or 4 offensive linemen in this year's class.

At least the seal has been broken, hopefully, that will start some kids coming our way, although clearly he's not the big name that will cause others to flock here. But a good running back or QB needs a big nasty ugly in front of him to go anywhere.

Have you been studying at BUS University again?

I like how, in the rivals writeup, they quote his coach as saying he's got "good feed." Presumably he said "feet" -- but why split hairs?
ALL linemen have "good feed."

University of BUS. Thats funny :lol:

But quite useful if you want the little people to have a place to run!

My count is 20 ships - Given 20 the 8 need to be BIG MEN.

Can you imagine life at BUS University?

On the admission application, there is only one question related to academics: Are you a good student? Admissions officials barely slow down when reading the answer. The rest of the application is more extensive: Height? Weight? Bench press? Squat? Any linemen in your family? Who/where/how big? Are you offended by being called a BIG UGLY?

Once a student is admitted at BUS University, the transition from high school life to college life is a little different than it is at other schools. Whereas SMU will help its new students learn the ropes with its AARO program, BUS University students are shown the two places in which they will spend the most time: the weight room and the cafeteria. Students are required to sign a form stating that they understand the school's eligibility standards: no player who fails to bench press 400 pounds is eligible to go to any classes. If, for any reason (even illness or injury), a student's bench press dips below the 400-pound mark, that player will be suspended from the classroom so he can spend more time in the weightroom and the cafeteria.

The cafeteria will be a little different than what we're used to at SMU, too. The morning coffee and cup of fruit (or whatever they're serving these days) will be replaced. Students will receive a dozen eggs and a glazed ham for breakfast, with a protien shake to wash it down. Lunch is a bowl of pasta so big that it looks like one of those worm tanks they drop people in on FEAR FACTOR, and the pasta is topped with meatloaf. An entire meatloaf. Dinner, of course, has to be a lighter meal (don't want these guys getting fat, of course), so each student is served a turkey -- a whole turkey -- with a bucket of mashed potatoes and a salad that looks like a garbage bag full of lawn clippings. Eat up.

And kudos to the coaches for starting the recruiting class with what sounds like a prototypical BUS boy.

Oh Corso - I am laughing so hard it makes it hard to type.

GREAT POST!

Do not forget about the host family program at BUS U. Only families that own restaurants would qualify for free weekend meals and mentorship.

One fault in you post. Classes are not an option. We care about our players and their future employment :lol:

It's great when a big guy comes from a HS with mascot like a "Hippo"!

Bring it Lee G....

I guessed no one noticed that Lee made Texas Football's top 300 list as "Best of the Rest" under offensive lineman!

Ponymom: good to see you back!

I don't know about the rest of the Mustang Nation but I didn't see it because I don't buy DC's Texas Football Magazine anymore. Thanks for noting it on here.

Lets remember that these high school rankings are based upon their Jr year play, and they haven't even played THIS year yet.

They are VERY likely to change as the season goes forward.

PS: Tom Laundry Class is this weekend I believe

Tom Laundry...that's funny. :lol:

Some great h.s. football games this Saturday at Ford Stadium at the 6th annual Tom Landry Classic. Allen and Mesquite play at 5 p.m., followed by Highland Park and Denton Ryan at 8 p.m.

I bet Willis will be in the stands for that.
