blueandgold Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Is this really Emeka's brother? I would say he is definitely a long shot for a WR position on our football team. That's one of our deepest positions. I wonder why he didn't mention trying to play for our basketball team. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Not a brother. Emeka has one sister & if my memory serves, he was from somewhere in the south or southeast. Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 It drives me crazy when we are referred to as Akron University (as was done in the article)!...it's the University of Akron!Imagine Cincinnatti University instead of the University of Cincinnatti. How terrible does that sound?We must continue to climb all over others when they make this error for the sake of branding our university. Doing so is imperative to our perception at the national level. Quote

True. More than likely he would become a special teams player. Quote
BZip_08 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 How fast is his 100m? If he can bulk up to a degree, so as not to be killed by a good hit, (my pet peeve with small WR and why I love TE), but still keep that speed, he might have a decent chance. Quote
Buckzip Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 Gates didn't play football at Can't, and now he is a stud in the NFL.You never know. Quote
timmyboy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 But gates was build like a football player. from the looks of this guys pic, he isnt. Quote
TXZipFan Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 How much size do you really have to have to play wr tho... just look at vince hill he's 5'11" 175lbs so as long as he's got the skills they'll put the size on him. Quote
Buckzip Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 But gates was build like a football player. from the looks of this guys pic, he isnt. Gates was built like a TE. This guy is built like a WR. There are some very good smaller receivers.I am not saying he is going to amount to anything as a football player. I merely said it is possible. Quote
