What's weird though is the state of Oregon has a larger Poly population than Utah, yet for some reason they seem to put out a lot more Poly players.

I didn't think Oregon had a large Poly population, but probably true, especially in Portland. Not exactly sure why the state of Utah produces more D1 prospects than Oregon, since Oregon has a larger population than Utah. Just must be that their quality of players and coaches is better.

I think that is because of the Mormon factor.

Fairly was the 95th ranked JC in 2009. Andrew Iupati was ranked 55th and Zac Clark 72nd in the same year. Sometimes Players blow up and improve dramatically. No doubt a win in the Natty could have a occurred for us if we get Fairly here. Auburns other DL were also very good. But give us Fairly this year and a different outcome for us would have been likely and we don't have this topic on here. And we are saying AZZ is a genius recruiter and coach. For taking a much lower ranked player!!!

Fairley was 256 pounds out of high school. He was 265 out of JC. In his first year at Auburn he went from 265 to 290. That's blowing up in one sense. Out of high school he looked more like a DE candidate with his size and speed. They really did a nice job bulking him up without losing his speed.

I'm curious what the average weight gain is for a typical 20 year old D1 lineman. I also wonder what the typical yearly weight gain is for a player for the ducks. Interesting stuff.

Kinda makes you wonder what those SEC teams are giving their players.

Whatever the SEC is giving their players you can bet Rad won't be doing it. He had a funny quote before the game "bullets knock over more people than bowling balls."

I remember getting into it with a 300Lb+ guy when I was about 200 (Pounds, not years!), in a pick up game.

He wasn't stronger than I was, but unless my technique was perfect, there was no way in heck to handle him one on one, except a couple times when I got low enough to get his feet off the ground. To a certain extent, size (mass) definitely mattered.

A really big, well-trained DT is a heckuva a load.

Wrong type of bullets this time.
