Is she hot?

Wow, Leslee's ACL weighed 1 pound? (Too soon? )

Some observations from an Illinois paper this weekend about the Husker's recruiting activity in Illiniois http://lincolnshire.suntimes.com/2014/09/05/henricksen-stevensons-jalen-brunson-heads-villanova/

The D'Jery Baptiste sweepstakes for Nebrasketball is probably a long-shot. However, he apparently finished-up both his Vanderbilt and UCONN visits over the past couple weekends without committing. Here is an article from the SMU world of basketball that might make our wish-we-had-him meter go even higher. Consider the following blurbs from the article dated a month ago (August 5): “He had a great LeBron James camp. One scout there ranked him as the sixth best player at the LeBron James camp, which is pretty remarkable. He got a chance to go play free and see what he could do,” Derrick Shelby, Baptiste’s guardian, said. “Some players think that they’re something that they’re not. D’Jery has realized who he is and what his basketball identity is,” Shelby said. “What he is, is a rebounding, blocks everybody’s shot, runs the floor hard kind of guy. He’s the best rim-runner in the country and he just goes all out.” For a 7-foot, 250-pound center that has only been playing basketball for a few years after coming to the United States from Haiti, it’d be easy to try and be just a scorer, but Baptiste is embracing the role that colleges want to see. Shelby’s next step for Baptiste is to organize official visits, unofficial visits and home visits. Baptiste is still, “a little ways away,” from deciding on a school, but once Baptiste knows what he wants, it won’t take long for Baptiste to commit, whether it’s in the fall or spring.

Leslee's appetizer at lunch time weighed 1 pound. If they'd waited until after lunch to weigh him, he might have looked to gain a couple of pounds. Seriously, if I weighed myself after dinner one night and before breakfast the following morning, I might lose 5 pounds in 10 hours without even trying. So, a 1 pound difference from last year to this one might have as much to do with the time of day he was weighed as anything. One pound for a guy his size is within the margarine of error.

Good catch. He is listed an inch taller than last year. You tend to slouch less when you have more confidence.

i'm pretty sure fuller was only listed at 6'6 on last year's roster as well. did he also grow an inch?

Silverbacked, what's the deal?!? -1 for what.... said, like "Turned Down for What" https://vine.co/v/OuYHajJMHFh ( had to have some reason to post this vine, it's pretty epic IMHO. ha ) How you get the video that is copying me when my wife says yes.

Another turnover committed. Looks like this one is in the books.

did you get a good look at his legs? whats the leg hair situation?

Nebraska University, eh? Dear ol' Nebraska U! Well at least he didn't call us UNL.

Well then, they are probably smart enough to know that the current situation in Lincoln is more to their son's advantage!
