Manny in CA : 4/15/2021 12:09 am

Jaheim Oatis, (6'4", 350) a junior in Columbia Mississippi has committed to the Crimson tide. Here's the link (need to copy & paste), if you want to see details ...

The Giants could have used him with the loss of Tomlinson, (sigh).
that's funny, there must be a typo

I could have sworn that article says he was 6-4 and 286 pounds and ran a 4.7... as a 14 year old.

Reminds me of a story from a guy I once worked with....

...from Cambridge Massachusetts. He played against Ewing when they were both in junior high school. He said it was comical, Ewing was like a foot taller than anyone on his team. I wish I remembered more of the story, it was close to thirty years ago when we worked together, but that image of a 13-year old Ewing towering above the other kids stuck in my memory.

I played against Bernard Toone in high school. He blocked 3 of my shots in a quarter, and he wasn’t exactly exerting himself.
Umm..

Manny, we could have used a high school player to replace Tomlinson.

Tim Thomas at Paterson Catholic was similar. He played my high school and was taller, quicker, more explosive than our entire team. He dunked and the whole crowd went silent.
