Agree.

Agree.

Agree, agree. For a 6'6 cat at DT I would take him in a heartbeat. Seriously look at Cage, bout 4-5 in shorter and is all ass and legs with a belly. Not saying I dont want Cage but that's like a dude sayen "your girl (5'10 180lbs) be fat" while his lady is pushing 5'3 160 with some serious saddle bags....in a pinch and when the depth is weak, they'll do

Kentucky has one of the best and most advanced strength and conditioning coaches and programs in the country. I have a feeling his physique will be changing dramatically over his career.

The thing about Elam: He's got Nix's width with Tuitt's length. That pic shows just how tall he is. He can stuff the run and disrupt passing lanes, if he can stay in shape (and I didn't think he looked so bad there. Just big.
Did seem like a head case in the recruiting process, but if he can get it screwed on right he'll go a long way.

 

[dublinirish]

tbh he dosen't look that bad. Freshmen DT's are always gonna come in overweight and sloppy

Don't let Koonja know this. He'll be crying for Longo's head.

I saw Elam last fall when he visited for the SC game. He looks considerably different to me in this picture. He didn't have the loose rolls anywhere that showed, then.

He is naturally about twice as wide as a stocky man. Dude has incredibly broad shoulders, so you don't get how broad his chest and belly are.

You do see one difference between Matt and all the DT's we grabbed and Tyler Luatua for that matter. His legs are much smaller in proportion that with any of those players. It will be interesting to see how this affects him against really good offensive linemen.

Also, the relevant point to me is when you look at Elam, compared to Cage and Mokwuah, compared to the whole damn Irish team, you start to realize that every year, the team reports to camp in better "shape" than the year before!

My main concern is with his birth certificate. Are we sure that Elam isn't 30 years old?

Man, I was a Junior in high school....that movie was released 15 years ago.

Meh. Still think Kardashian's tits are bigger. He needs to consult Andre Smith and Terrence Cody, or use Kleenex until the bra fills out completely.

If they tried to hug each other, how far do you think their arms would go around each other?

His indoor team played their 2012 home games at the college I went to. I went to a couple, and he could still throw the ball all over the place like it was nothing, and even moved pretty well despite having all that weight back. He was literally bigger than any lineman in any of the games I saw.

He's back at it this year I believe, but I haven't seen anything yet.

Good lord, Lorenzen is bigger than Elam.

Yeah...he actually looks unhealthy. His heart is working over-time.

[Irishnuke]

I hope the next time his thread is bumped will not be due to him having a heart attack.
