The thought of Niang, McKay, Nader, Burton, & Monte on the court at the same time gives me goosebumps!

And should make your sack retract if you're on the opposing team.

"David Epstein, the author of the excellent book The Sports Gene, says that most people have an arm length-to-height ratio of 1.01-to-1. By contrast, Epstein reports that the average NBA player has an arms-to-height ratio of 1.06-to-1, “greater than … the diagnostic criteria for Marfan syndrome, a disorder of the body’s connective tissues that often results in elongated limbs.â€￾

Whaaaat? Is our team half mutant?

my goodness, Burton is just a horse. The football team has had defensive lineman who were smaller than him.

Burton is a freak

6-4, 250, 7-0 wingspan. And someone tried to say the other day that Burton is undersized.

:notworthy:

Yeah, I have always been told that fingertip to fingertip is EXACTLY the same as your height. And for me it is spot on. I use that to measure stuff out sometimes, width of a wall, etc.

Those wingspans should make for some hellish 2-1-2, 1-3-1, or 2-3......aw hell......any zone defense!

Speaking of Ernst, anyone hear how his knee is coming along?

My wingspan is a few inches longer than my height. I've always heard that was a desirable characteristic for a OL, but I am proof against that :twitcy:

I'm interested to hear how Ernst (once healthy) and Carter look this fall/winter.

It would be great if we could get one significant contributor out of those two next year. 25 min of solid play between them would go a long way toward taking some of the pressure off our incoming class of post players.

Don't freaking start with that!
