Yes, Russian sumo wrestler on USF football team

[ckparrothead]

On the chart value, the names I put up are the equivalent of about 8.5 average team drafts. Generally speaking if you get 2 or 3 starters out of a draft you're considered to have done a good job. If I get 17 to 26 starters out of my 45 drafted names then I guess I did a good job.

Attacking it a different way, you're supposed to hit on about 50% of your 1st and 2nd rounders and I have 15 total, so if 8 of my listed are starters in Year 4 then I've hit there. The percentages drop significantly in rounds 3 and 4, to 30% and 20%, then 10% in round 5 and 5% in rounds 6 and 7. I've listed 5, 6, 7, 6 and 6 in those rounds, so if I hit on 2 in round 3, 1 in round 4, 1 in round 5, and 1 in rounds 6 and 7...then I had a successful Draft.

Too bad, we didn't have a football team when Hulk Hogan was a student. LOL

Sorry if this has been posted but they had a segment on our new sumo wrestler. Watching it now on ESPNU.

For those of us that don't have ESPNU, what did they say about him?

I thought the Sumo stance in this picture was interesting.

USF Adds Former Sumo Wrestler As Defensive Tackle

As sports fans, it is always fun to do some cross-sport speculation. Would LeBron James make an unreal tight end? Could Chad Ochocinco Johnson be an elite soccer player (the answer is no)? Well apparently the University of South Florida’s head coach Skip Holtz is willing to try out some cross-training.

As the Tampa Bay Times reports, Holtz’s team will feature former Russian sumo wrestler Soslan Gagloev on the defensive line. Gagloev is a powerful, powerful man, checking in at 425 lbs. He is understandably a very raw prospect, but if the goal is to be a space-eater in the middle, he should have no trouble accomplishing that task.

South Florida had better have one good meal plan.

Brian Gresie says "he is buying" this recruit and that BE centers better be ready.

No, but he was when he was doing Sumo wrestling.

He's lost over 100 pounds, to play football.

He's listed on the USF football roster at 308 lbs.
