Panthers sign a... basketball player

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm fine with it. It probably won't work but whatever. It's all potential reward virtually zero risk.

This guy's gonna need race horse substances to gain at least 20 lbs of lean mass by camp.

Honestly, this move "working out" would probably mean he secures a spot on the PS for a year or two while we try to turn him into a football player.

I realize that he is a WCU player and WCU is a pipleine for Panther talent (players:  Hoover; Coaches: Rhule) but what makes this guy any different from any other mid major 6-9 player? 

Could it be because he's the only one wanting to tryout for the Panthers?

Good gravy he's tall. 

He's got my attention.

Nah guys, we are FINE at TE.  Dragging dudes off the streets with zero football experience.  Mud, meet wall. Crap, at least find some D-II TE to develop.  Full panic mode now that THE Ian Thomas has left the building.  

The team is too inundated--100% full concentration---on which 'square peg' situational pass rusher we are going to trying to force into a 'round hole' on this team at pick #8.

Morgan: 'Hey, just go find some really tall guy to play TE while we do important work over here on Edge guys.'

Scout: 'How much football background does he need?'

Morgan: 'Who cares? We have all these pass rushers we have to sort through.'

*Some time later*

Scout: 'Hey Dan, I found some dude nearly 7 foot tall playing rec ball down at the YMCA.'

Morgan: 'Cool, how many years did he start at TE in college?'

Scout: 'None, he's never played TE or football...ever--but, but, you said you didn't care about that?'

Morgan: 'Honestly I don't...let's give him a minimum deal; and for crying out loud let me get back to the slew of pass rushers that all have holes in their game!'

Honestly, his biggest role at training camp this year will be to help Bryce get things off the top shelf.

I love this. You're not out of anything by giving the guy a shot.
