Obviously I don't mean to take a bench press # and spin it into a hype machine when I doubt this kid ever plays a meaningful snap here but again, the method to the madness. Golden wants to add some players to his first class, and he wants a stronger team, so he adds one of the strongest **** freshmen out there (from a bench standpoint).

True.
He seems to be a workout guy, which is invaluable in the gym. Hopefully it's contagious.

Gym rat, self motivated players dont like getting shown up at anything. He's pretty strong right now so if he can be a catalyst to getting some guys to try to catch him, he's invaluable to the whole squad.

Id like to add that we don't know he wont be an asset on the grid iron either. That's crazy strength for a freshman. If he has heart and desire to match his physical measurements he's going to help us in some way.

Thing is, if a kid has enough mental discipline to force himself to be that strong that young, then it's a distinct possibility that he'll have the mental discipline to do the other things that will make him a good player.
That's the thing I think some seem to overlook. True enough we need to get stronger, but it's more than that. If you're dedicated enough to run up your numbers in any segment of workouts whatsoever - bench pressing for example - then there's a much better chance that you'll likewise dedicate yourself to honing and improving yourself in other areas of your game - as you just learned all it takes is time and effort.

FWIW, D$ insight when I asked about the late incomers from last year in another thread:
King has some fans. He's strong and plays hard, could end up helping us. Alexis and Wells I don't expect much from. Armbrister is a specimen but needs to mature.

One of the strongest guys on the team last year was a walk-on FB. He never saw the field. Same **** with Alexis....walk-on skills with some good strength.

I believe Ojomo was lighter then 280, and after he was moved to DT was our best d-line player.

We really got ****ed when they denied Ojomo a medical 'shirt. He would've been a vital part of the team, and with another year to put on weight and get stronger would've been our best DT. ******** over at the NCAA.
