I bet that, by the time he is a sophomore, we won't even recognize him.

I believe he only started playing football his sophomore year so he's still got quite a bit of unused potential.

Regarding his weight room maxes: He's 6'9''! Look at his wingspan. Long arms and long legs make it diffucult to lift huge amounts of weight. He's still got brute strength. It's not common to see guys with damn near 7' wingspans bench 350+ 300+ etc.

Also, Rivals.com, traditionally the most accurate and reliable recruiting database in the country, rated Lipski a 5.4 which is the same as Cody Balogh who started 4 years and was an all-American. Lipski was also ranked the 6th best prospect in the state of Oregon.

Waste of scholarship??? He could be an NFL draft pick in 5 years.

I'm anxious to see how Lipski looks in a couple years. He certainly is huge -- that's a lot of human at age 18. He's sort of a baby giant still. I trust that the staff saw enough potential to offer him.

Absolutely, I think he's an OL all the way. Another tall defensive lineman was none other than Buck Buchanan, although I think Buchanan was 6'7" or 6'8." Ernie Ladd, who also played for the Chiefs was 6'9" or so, but like Too Tall, Ladd and Buchanan were tall and rangy, not tall and beefy like Lipski. Give the kid a couple years of conditioning and we just might have a force on the O line.
If you make every game a life-and-death thing, you're going to have problems. You'll be dead alot -- Dean Smith.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro -- Hunter S. Thompson
