Hicks isn't the typical guy from Saskatoon State or wherever. He's from California and signed with LSU out of junior college. He never played there though because an assistant coach set him up with some illegal benefits (rides and a place to stay) and they were tried to cover it up when it was investigated. He then headed to Canada.
I wouldn't be surprised to see someone reach for him by following Bill Parcells' "planet person" philosophy -- there's a limited number of 300 pounders on the planet with that kind of athleticism, so you shouldn't pass them up. He supposedly isn't as impressive on the field, though.
