The "sweet spot" for hand size is 9.25" to 10".

That being said there are many caveats:

1) A higher percentage of QBs get drafted both below and above that number than from within that range.

2) Probowlers tend to be on the higher end, but that might just be a factor of them being bigger guys in general (Cam Newton, Andrew Luck).

3) Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes both measure ~9.25" - although a combine measurement on Brady doesn't seem to exist and there's a lot of numbers out there for him.

4) Regular hand massages leading up to the combine can increase the measurement by about 0.5", and -yes- it happens.

Also, John David Booty seems to be the smallest hands on record that were drafted at 8.5"

I've tried regular hand massages for years. Hasn't really helped. but it is fun trying.

I just measured in at 9.5" wide (9.75" if I press in to the ruler a bit) and I'm 6' 2". I volunteer to be our QB2 take. I put up Calzada-like numbers in IM and sling it like Colt at tailgates. 

If we're doing dick sizes too I'll have to go find a tape measure.  

Did you mean to type "yardstick?"

In actual recruiting news, the brainiacs are saying we've offered Temple WR Quintin Johnston.

I think his highlights look great, although I've heard in games he disappears at times and takes plays off, and I remember reading that he had trouble getting separation at a camp or 7on7 or something against top corners 

Anyway, he's talented, and i could see him being in the class. OU offered early

I am really curious to see how he does at OU with the guys they have on campus next year and what changes they make with recruiting priorities on defense

Looking at the offer list I'm not sure who they lead for.  Alec Bryant maybe?  I know they really want Umanmielen, but that's a recruitment we shouldn't lose, even if he's pals with Bryant.

Do we know if Scott or Dorbah will Be back in town this weekend? Would be nice to close 1 or both of those soon.

A&M and OU both backing off of Scott, and us offering due to his mother saying he wasn't visiting without an offer makes me wonder how much we'll push

Whenever I was watching HUDL video of Jared Wiley as a QB, I was always wondering who this kid was that seemed to be catching most of his passes.  This young man is a freakin' gazelle out there. Very impressive.

We just got a crystal ball pick for Xavion Alford.

well that is...unexpected. I'd basically written him off as an aTm kid at this point.

Oh shit, it's from that street agent fucking cunt JKB. The baylor honk who's brother hits women. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say his Crystal ball is worthless.

Even EJ knows he's a Ro Simon kid and what that usually entails. If we pull him, it'll be interesting.
