Are Players Now Bigger, Faster, Stronger?

Postby UKLaxfan Thu Dec 09, 2010 5:01 am

There is a thread on another Forum about whether players now really are BFS?

I thought this was a valid question for our game in the UK as well.

***************************************
What is the All Time NCAA Biggest Team starting line up

G - Scott Rogers (Notre Dame 2010) 6' 4"/254lb
G - Nolan Hickey (Navy 2013) 6' 7"/240lb

D - Kevin Ridgeway (Notre Dame 2011) 6' 6"/215lb
D - Barney Erhmann (Georgetown 2010) 6' 6"/240lb
D - Jason Orlando (Duke 2011) 6' 7"/255lb

LSM - Brian Farrell (Maryland 2011) 6' 5"/240lb

M - Andrew Brancaccio (Georgetown 2010) 6' 5"/205
M - Stu Shannon (Georgetown 2011) 6' 7"/218lb
M - Kory Kelly (Rutgers 2011) 6' 5"/220lb
---
M - Kiel Matisz (Robert Morris 2012) 6' 5"/215lb
M - Pat Emmer (Bryant 2014) 6' 5"/220lb (big shoes to fill, son of HOF Jack)
M - Pat Moran (Navy 2010) 6' 5"/228lb

A - Grant Catalino (Maryland 2011) 6' 5"/225lb
A - Will Yeatman (Maryland 2010) 6' 6"/250lb
A - Mark Matthews (Denver 2011) 6' 4"/210lb

Are there many old school guys who measure up to these guys?

If the above team walked off the bus you would think you are in for a long day :shock:

******************
So how do things compare in the UK?

Are players here BFS than they used to be?

Who are the biggest players in the UK game?

League restructure I told you so 10/3/2011(looking good on this one)
Prem division to two leagues will result in the prem division failing and being combined with Nemla 22/3/2012
the proposed restructure to 8 teams in each prem league will only last a couple of years until it has to be restructured again due to teams dropping out. 13/12/2012

Grant's older brother Mike Catalino is the runt of the litter as a 6'0 200 lb middie when he played for Duke :D .
