I think Ben has the ability to be a phenomenal TE and he is almost exactly like Jimmy Graham.


Never thought I'd agree with you, but here we our.

I give you credit for mining the gullibility depths of the Tiger Rant. I didn't think you could make it this deep.

Congrats

I think Ethan Pocic could be a great addition to the basketball team. With his size, he could be a Robert "Tractor Trailor" Taylor type player. Our basketball team could use some edge, and I think Pocic is the one to deliver it.

In all seriousness, Ben Simmons is the consensus number 1 pick in the NBA draft. Lets say his stock is crushed somehow and the worst case scenario is top 3 pick in the NBA draft. Why in the hell would he even think about picking up a football? Jimmy Graham wasn't even good at basketball for Miami. This is why this post is being so ridiculed.

Did he have a scholarship to play football at LSU?

This is something I haven't even considered. With our financial situation I think giving out less scholarhsips in order to save money is something we should really be looking into. If we pulled a tuba player out of the stands, I don't see how a kid with as much heady grit as Ethen wouldn't be able to at least match that production. Not to mention basketball is probably a better way to stay in shape than 12 oz curls in Tigerland.

That may be the case, but with all these academic/character issues coming to light, eckspecially in 2016 when it's better to be PC than good at your craft I could see him fallen out of the top 5 or 10 spots. USA Today puts him somewhere between 10-15 on the 3rd team. Plus I know most people given the choice would rather spend NFL money than NBA money. The NFL dollar is just a little more respected given all that the league has done as a non-profit.

I think Ben is a little too thin to play football. He'd get broken like a twig in SEC play. I would love to see Blakeny line up opposite side of Malachi Dupree and have the option to throw it up to either side.

Guy has a huge standing vertical and I could see him being a Mr Go Get It type of wide out in the league. He's got chest, which is why I'm surprised Les never gave him any looks. I can't help but think we are really missing the boat not having multisport athletes.

No more questions, just want to turn this into a discussion for people who are still interested. Not looking for anymore personal attacks.

No dude. Anytime somebody asks you a legit question you do not answer. You are a loser. Bottom line

Caitlyn Jenner... the ultimate multi-sport athlete... along with Jim Thorpe.

Maybe Ben Simmons should be more like Caitlyn Jenner. He could conceivably win olympic gold in basketball AND football.

Caitlyn Jenner, Jim Thorpe and Ben Simmons... the Mt. Rushmore of Multi-Sport Americans.

"A transgender, an Indian and an Australian walk into a bar..."

That's the story of America.
