Apparently Ron Thompson is going to be 27 in August...Washington is going to be 20 in November, so don't expect much more physical maturity out of him. Most of these kids are the right age group for the class, which is pretty big. A lot of kids get held back a couple of years by their parents so that they are bigger/stronger/faster than other kids in high school that have not matured yet. This class shows good upside in potential; physical and mental.

I like that only 2 guys are listed as less than 6' - the kicker and Morgan. Also, all except for the big uglies look like they're at a decent playing weight and will burn off the baby fat with some S&C, hopefully before they arrive on campus.

That has to be a typo, right? 1995 maybe?

I actually thought he was born in the 70's, certainly passes the look test.

He's quite a bit Greg-Oden-esque in terms of looking far older than he (presumably) is.
