Also, some Gabe Jackson reviews in the article:

Gabe Jackson, G, Mississippi State: 6-3½, 336. Often compared to Lions RG Larry Warford, a third-round pick from Kentucky in '13 who had a strong rookie season. "He's big, in the Warford class," one scout said. "He moves better than Warford. He has second-round ability. My issue is if he can pass block." Experienced road grader. Ran just 5.51. "He's big and he plays big," another scout said. "If you're in his area, he's going to dominate you. Obviously, the speed and the range will never be his strength. But if you use him for what he does (best), he's pretty good."

It's really a shame that they let these scores get out in the first place.

I had to take the wonderlic one time for a job interview and let me just say that if you get anything less than a 10, i simply have no idea how you function in society. they are not difficult questions. its BASIC knowledge...like, mind-numbingly basic.

It's also a shame that Ohio State (or any other school) let him in school with that sort of ability in the first place. And he must have "graduated". I'm sure his SAT/ACT scores reflected similarly.

Very funny and true story about wonderlic in the work place. Several years back a company I worked at (about 400 people) started giving the wonderlic as a part of the interview process for potential management employees. The owner was looking at the scores one day with the HR people and said the scores were useless to him because he couldn`t relate them to real people that he knew. It was then decided to give the test to all existing management people so the owner could compare applicants to current employees IQ-wise. The test was given and a friend of mine was in the owner`s office when the results were given to him. First words out of the owner`s mouth when he saw the results....."****, we`re in trouble". True story.

I'm confused. I thought the Big 10 was the conference with high academic standards and the SEC was the conference that recruited the illiterate players.

Me too. Big 10 and ACC. I'm pretty convinced that nobody is, except maybe the Ivy's and Stanford.

Yeah, but you can do the algebra problems in your head. No pencil and paper needed.

All 6 Packers (at least the ones that have been around awhile) know that its what you made on the English section of the ACT and what you drive that REALLY counts!

Sample Wonderlic. 5 minutes is a tad tough to get through 15 question as two of them involve a little bit of algebra. But let's just say most of them are not very hard.

Unless I'm a moron, the one asking about which month is closest to September as far as the amount of time or daylight is pretty damn hard and gets harder the further south you live, unless you just happen to pay attention to when the solstice and equiniox are. Is that a hard question or am I just a dubmass?

Haven't thought about it much, but off the top of my head I don't think how far south you live has anything to do with it. While the magnitude of difference with the seasons is higher the farther north you go in the northern hemisphere, the monthly differences will be the same relative to one another.

Haven't seen the question, but I think the answer as to which month is closest to September in hours of daylight would be March. Both March and September are months of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes (March has a few more "short" days and September has a few more "long" days since the equinoxes are not at mid-month, so the months are not exactly equal in amount of daylight).

September is the 9th month and March is the 3rd month so sunlight is equivalent. Doesn't matter where you live unless its Brazil.
