    Twisted, I don't think TRA...

    understood your report. I thought the same thing when the combine figures came out a few weeks ago, not just about Clayton but about several of the players from around the country. Many lost a lot of weight and height as well as speed when measure by un-biased people. reminds of the "Incredible Shrinking man or Woman movies from way back when. :grin:

    Clayton's Size

    It never ceases to amaze me that football programs in general lie about the size of their players. As stated above, Clayton was always portrayed as a 6'4" receiver. What's the deal? Is inflating the sizes of your team supposed to scare the opposition? Give us a break and be honest about these things.

    The heights and weight out out by sports information people are usually bull****. Rodney Reed was listed as 6', 4", but a look at him alongside Whitworth made it clear that he was more like 6', 2". High School coaches are even worse, many 6', 6", 290-pound linemen become 6', 3" 325-pound linemen when they get their first college measurements. I don't know why coaches do this. The same thing happens with time in the 40. One or two tenths always seems to get subtracted.

    Ethan Martin was always listed as 6', but he looked me straight in the eye at 5',10".

    Kevin Faulk was listed 2 to 3 inches higher than his actual 5', 8". I think we would all be shocked to find out the true heights and weights of the team.

    The LSU roster on LSUsports.net has the same heights and weights listed on all of the layers from when they were recruits, I don't know if they ever change any of them, ever. I think many times coaches do that in order to scare the other teams they are playing or something. It's even done regularly in basketball. HHMM, I wonder if Big Herm will end up being 6'2" 250lbs when he gets here?

    Of course I did. I hate when people post sensational article titles to get people to read articles. In fact....the article title was "Michael Clayton suffers from osteoporosis" when I posted to it. Now it's been changed.
