That is a pretty good comparison. Similar size but both played bigger than their physical stature. I think Andre was more skilled offensively than Ed - certainly at this point in their careers, but there are certainly similarities in their games.
On thing that I don't think is similar - Andre was maybe one of the "dirtiest" players we have had at Nebraska - but in kind of a good natured way. Many times he would give a guy a kind of a cheap shove and then just laugh when the guy retaliated and got called for a foul. He had a real knack for getting a lick in when the refs were not looking - of course only 2 refs back in those days :).
