I was listening to Birm's latest podcast today and Adeleye's recruitment came up. Birm says although he's listed at 6'3 or 4 he's really a few inches shorter. The OSU coaches don't know if at that height and body he'll be able to excel at end which is where he wants to be....could this be the 'something' that doesn't fit?

Maybe the coaches could tell him to Google "John Randle NFL Hall of Fame"...

The last too small guy did pretty well, and wore a mean cowboy hat.

I'm curious if they feel he'll stick outside. Seems destined to be an inside guy.

I’m not one for photo comparisons either but he just doesn’t look that short on film. I guess I’m more curious about wing span.

“I’m not one for judging someone’s height based on a picture, but while running around in a video, he doesn’t look short.”


I’m not either. I’m just making the point that he’s absolutely not 6’1”, not that it should matter. There have been far too many examples of great players that aren’t the “prototype” for this to be an issue. The kid can play!

Okay. Not sure why you elected to go the snide route when I was agreeing with you. My point is even if you’re someone who’d rather not gauge height with a photograph or video, it’s impossible to ignore that he looks large compared to surrounding persons.
