Yeah accuracy has been an issue of his but he makes up for it with his post presence. I also hear his knees are a major liability but hopefully our world class training staff can alleviate that issue....

The Collosus of Rhodes not coming!!!

I just heard from a friend that talked to a buddy who over heard Chip and Frost talking about Rhodes. The inside word is the urinals are two low at both Autzen and Matt and the Willamette is off limits.

Also heard that Nike will only make custom shoe up to size 50. ( He wears an 8 meter quad Z width ). Under Armor reportedly pushing him toward Auburn. Latest is he is a soft lean to Clemson.

Bummer he looked like he would fit. Great wing span and all the intangibles.

LSU making a late run... Relaxed zoning regs post Katrina will allow Rhodes to find relief in the Bayou Country.

In a late development, David's agent, Michelangelo, has contacted Altman concerning a transfer from Florence, Italy.

Although the prospect has no pro experience, the extent of his eligibility is yet to be determined.

Known for courageous offense, as well as Tenacious D, the 14'/6 ton prospect is considered a better fit for Altman's High Post Offense, and a venue such as Matt Court than the previously mentioned Colossus of Rhodes.

It doesn't hurt that the scoreboard has to be 35 feet off the floor for college basketball, 36 ½ feet high for NBA basketball and 44 feet for volleyball. Consequently, there is no danger of injury to David from overhead obstructions.

An unexpected side benefit is that when playing the post, David would be able to straddle the key, eliminating 3 second violations.

A much better pickup in my opinion. Again, those knees on the Colossus of Rhodes were a big liability. LSU is desperate for a big man who can be an immediate impact like Shaq or Big Baby so it may end up working better for both of those sides. That said, the training staff could help him with the knee issues....

The Statue of Liberty is upset and feels discriminated against with all this talk of the Collosus of Rhodes. She is contacting a lawyer about Title 9.

There are a few reports that David may have some issues with his ankles... The training and rehab program available at Oregon could prove a vital link in this chain of events.

As far as the Statue of Liberty goes, I am sure a commit of that magnitude would be more than welcome on the Women's team... A strong center or power forward could be the missing ingredient in this team.

I wonder if she could play goalie? The possibility is very strong that Lady Liberty could easily be the best keeper in NCAA D-1 history.

There's an unsubstantiated rumor that David refuses to wear clothes at any point, in the classroom or on the court. This made Altman cool on him a bit and I'm hearing that he may no longer have an offer.

The Statue of Liberty is definitely carrying a torch for Oregon. She's waiting for calls or texts.

Yeah, Altman is a character guy all the way. David won't fit the culture.

What ever happened to the reports last fall that the coaches were looking at Thor out of Scandinavia as a possible fullback prospect, or to fill the 'thunder' role opposite LMJ's 'lightning'? It seems like we could really use him on those running plays inside the 10. I've seen footage, and he really brings the hammer down!
