    US Army replacing 5.56mm rifle with a 6.8mm for infantry

    My BIL was a nationally ranked tennis player when he was in college. He told me that when you reach a certain level in any sport, EVERYBODY has the physical tools to play. It`s what goes on, or doesn`t, between the ears that differentiates people.

    I guess a starting center at 300-305 would be better? Or can you play winning ball at C at this level at 295 with good technique, footwork and smarts?

    2025 Edge/ DE Javion Hilson has De Committed From Alabama (update: now visiting UA)
