Gaard "The Dutch Viking" Memmelaar, 4* 2020 OL, Middleton (HS), ID (COMMITTED)

For the record, Dutch people are fucking abnormally huge, i'm pretty sure there are studies about it. Paging resident eugenics superiority guy @Dennis_DeYoung

It's true for Northern Europe in general. Abundance of food and good access to medicine makes people in the western world less likely to have stunted development, leading to larger, stronger, healthier people on average. Cultural differences like healthier diet and more active lifestyle can push that a little, which can account for regional differences in a large country like the USA, or a diverse region like Europe, while better healthcare (and especially more access to it on average) can push it even further in places like Northern Europe with well-functioning single-payer systems. There's also a huge emphasis on recreational sports here, which probably helps as well. There are probably other factors as well, environmental like pollution, rates of alcohol use and drug use, etc. The point is there's a lot that can affect development, and stunt growth. Either way, it's has little if anything to do with genetics AFAIK.

It was mostly just a joke but sure.gif

Except that the dutch tend to be tall even when they move to other countries as a minority group, like say in South Africa or the United States. Which confounds most of the regional explanations. There's a reason there are academic studies in the first place trying to figure out "why are dutch people abnormally large/tall?" specifically rather than "why are northern Europeans so large?"

One is abnormal, the other is easily explained by environment, diet, etc.

Tldr it very well might be genetic or maybe not. Either way, chinteresting.

Dutch Super Race May Rule Us All

This entire message board is naive and borderline racist. You have people starting threads after we offered a kid with “(dark skinned)” in parenthesis. It’s embarrassing. It’s almost like the majority of posters have never left Seattle/Western Washington which isn’t exactly the cradle of diversity.

That was an obvious joke. If things like that bothered you why on Earth would you draw more attention to it?

We have his Junior season highlights! Only 16 years old and has a college body already. He's a lean 6'5 290 and looks country strong as fuck. Total man child. Very lean for his size like Kaleb McGary. Genetic freak. Plays with a nasty and relentless attitude. Not as impressive when on the move as Hatchett is but you can see the potential for him to get there. Great early pick up.

"There were a few schools that came by and a couple of them talked to me," Memmelaar noted. "USC, UCLA and Oregon were the main ones and my coaches said a bunch of other ones have stopped by to meet with them, but I asked my coaches not to pull me out of class to talk to any of the coaches because I'm not going to change my mind. I'm a Husky and nothing is going to change that, so why lead those other coaches on? I don't want to waste their time."

MKG. Honorary viking title EARNED.
 
I wonder if Gaard can start a white player recruiting movement! Basically he just needs to help in landing Redman, another mountain of a lineman, and I guess Raconelli once he gets an offer.

Can’t believe I missed all the scandic genetic hottalk.

Is Geirean Scandinavian too? Muhfucca look like it. If he is we gotta land both of them in order to package a recruiting fellow Scandinavian OL Star Myles Murao.

They’re all part of the scandic movement started by Gaard, looking forward to the Viking bowl in Malmö next January.
