Wow...being an SEC fan, I didn't really follow the Big East a lot..but LOUISVILLES AMOBI OKOYE....wow..what a story.
19, graduating from UL and potential top ten draft. I mean, 19. He could have just finished playing his Sr year for almost any high school in the country... and he is going to be drafted day 1.
Read about him in ESPN the magazine....

It is phenomonal. (Hence his nick name..Phe)
I mean, you sometimes hear about a kid making a major impact at a BCS school, who could stil be playing High School ball agewise...BUT A KID WHO COULD HAVE JUST FINISHED HIS SR YEAR AGE WISE....now a top prospect for the NFL.
It goes to show how marvelous the human body is at adapting. Here he is physically able to play in the NFL, and obviously if he was still in HS he wouldn't nearly be as good because he would never have been tested.
Just goes to show that you need to keep testing those kids out there..forcing them to work above their capability at times.

apparently hes a smart guy, too, he came and tested ahead into high school, skipping a couple years of school (which is why he's so far ahead).

He is definitely a genetic specimen to be able to be that big, strong, and fast at such a young age...
Must be pretty smart too, cause when I was 19, I was taking billiards, sociology, and english...he's gonna be graduating.

Rice had a center that got drafted at something like 19 years old about 10 years ago. Not first round but a dang good player.
It is amazing.
