Tiger basketball player

Pierre Henderson Niles is one heavy guy to play for the Memphis tigers. He acutually cannot play for the team unless he looses 70 pounds. Pierre is too heavy according to the NCCA rules. He is currently at 350 pounds and he needs to get to 280 pounds. He even has a uniform made for him at the weight of 280 pounds. And his coach said that if he was 300 pounds the uniform would rip when he put it on. He has been practicing with the team at 300lbs. but still needs to loose that extra twenty pounds in order to play. He has until November 18, 2008 to loose a couple extra pounds so he will be capable of playing. The opeing for the basketball seaon right after then we will see what happens.
