The thing is there were kids on my team that were 6'5 300 and could bench a house...but they were too slow, too stupid (in game wise), etc. I think its worth a try though if you wanna try and walk on...worst case scenario you dont make it...best case..well you get the point
I am by no means a dumb ox....I pick up quick and am very aggressive, but as you say speed is my only downfall, which given my time frame (over a year until i transfer) I will most definitely tack on some speed to my frame. Thanks for the advice guys, I'll keep yall posted on my progress.
