I also think it helps to follow clients who’ve consistently taken size — cross-comparison matters.
If someone’s actually booked multiple 10–11"+ guys, their benchmark is just more trustworthy. A first-timer calling someone “massive” isn’t the same as someone who regularly hires in that range.
And honestly, once you’re past that 10–11 mark, the number stops being the whole story. I’ve had guys who were all technically “over 10” feel completely different in person — some were intense, some were manageable, some just didn’t land the way I expected.
That’s fit — rhythm, positioning, and how they use it. That’s what changes everything.
That’s why I started keeping detailed hiring notes for myself — not just “big or not,” but how it actually feels and who it works for (and who it doesn’t). If you want, DM me.
