In the March 2009 edition of the Hawgs Illustrated Dudley Dawson's article on Dean had Dean at 6'3", 225 lbs. I fully understand weight gain, but wonder about the height loss...now listed above at 6'2". It seems lately there has been a little more "truth in advertising" with regard to athlete's vital statistics, but there is still considerable cause for doubt. I am sure H.S. coaches and athletes are prone to exaggeration thinking it will help with scholarship interest, but it would seem to be an exercise in futility as surely they all ultimately get measured and timed by the universities. I suspect Dean is actually 6' 2", but will wonder about maybe 6'1" until I see him myself up close (not likely to happen). It would be nice if the press could be present at "official weigh-ins" (and, then report the truth). No offense intended - really!

Just say yes, Ricardo. With folks like Marshawn and the incoming talent, the Razorbacks are once again on the rise.
