For the scoring guys - Is there any way to tell what this guy might score? There appears to be a lot of bone there under that velvet compared to the size of his head, but will the tape tell that tale?

The is big and heavy! If his right matched left I would guess somewhere in the mid or upper 130s but not sure how they would measure that other side. Definite shooter though! Hope he can connect and we see some after pics!
