Sounds like a draft is being planned for the occupation of Iran, aka Vietnam v.4

It takes a special turd to not draw interest from basketball programs at 6'9" in the US. There's some teams that recruit on height alone and worry about teaching skills later. The fact that he wasn't even sniffed at by a college coach somewhere is pretty telling.

    Not really. You need to have athletic grace. I've got a childhood friend that tall and while he had some attempts to get him on the high school team he just obviously lacked the kinesthetic ability to play sports at even a varsity level. None of the colleges he attended even asked.

    Well I heard he had autism, and his mother seems pretty overprotective. So perhaps he is not qualified d/t mental illness. I mean, we don't know if this kid is stimming out when presented with new experiences. He may not be banging his head against a wall but there may be other issues. Plus, his affinity for people like the brothers Tate (rapist advocates and human trafficking criminals) might just disqualify him d/t character and judgement. What do they say? apples fall from the tree.
