Michael Oher story

[PeachDog]

WOW. I did not know that situational story. What an amazing story!!!

If nobody heard. He was homeless, and a family picked him up off the street and basically adopted him.

He has a cute adopted sister!! ok ok i won't go there, this story deserves much respect. That family is amazing to do such a thing.

You should buy the book about him. It's written by the guy who wrote Moneyball.

Is he really pro level?

[Kingctb27]

he is projected to go top 15, at worst.

[ACCBball]

his foster dad is the play by play guy for the memphis grizzlies.

Read THE BLIND SIDE if you want to know about him. It is much more than that, it talks alot about football. It is a great book. I never coached against his high school team when he was on it but I coached with and against some guys in that book at one time or another. I know his old high school coach. Orgeron recruited 5 guys off of that team plus gave the Head coach a job at Ole Miss just to get him. The kid is a specimen. He is probably the 2nd best lineman in the draft.

Michael Lewis knows how to tell a story.

Yea .. Sean Tuohy (ex cbb player) picked him up off the streets. Great story.

Just googled him yesterday and Lewis has a cliffnote version of the story there. Good stuff.
