Saw this post about a 7-foot-5 Senegalese kid living in California.
The author did a good job about the curious circumstances that brought him to the school he plays for, much like the Tuohys in the book, “The Blind Side.”
Take a look. Read a book. At some point, I’ll do a diagram showing my silhouette against this kid’s. We’ll all have a good laugh on the bench.
