Boys are bigger!

[jr4750]

Lydon to 226lbs
Howard to 205lbs
Roberson to 226 lbs

Syracuse basketball's returning players are bigger and stronger

You never know about these things and how true they are since it could just be media hype. However, I hope the facts are true, but any increase in weight for the three in question is a bonus :noidea:

Lydon is 6'10"

On the flip side, DC came to SU weighing three bills and he's down to a svelte 258 lbs.

205 for a 6-4 kid is very sturdy.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We're gonna "big boy" a lot of teams.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lydon is 6'10"

He'll be 7'2'' by the time Rothstein shows up

 

[Jake]

I've seen some of the team recently. Lydon is definitely bigger. Frank as well. Roberson didn't appear to be noticeably bigger, but I could be wrong.

 

[Widget24]

Jerami Grant's 7'3

So, he's shrinking now?

Great to see in Lydon's / Roberson's cases.

And kudos to Coleman for getting into even BETTER shape.

These kids really want to get back to the F4.

I used to call DC "chubby" or maybe I called him "fat", I don't remember, but I got soooooo much heat for that and I never understood why, he did not look like a basketball player up until last year.

Battle looks to be a pretty big dude for a freshman guard

Something to be said about having that thousand yard stare so early. Hungry now? Wait til the season starts.

Robey, White and Battle all look the part, mean enough but Lydon in this picture suggests that he'll eat someone's lunch if they get in his lane. They're going to be ready.

Is Howard trying out for a women's beach volleyball team with that get-up?

I believe it's a Manzier, or 'bro' in layman's terms. You need support from time to time.

Okay, which one is Battle, which one Gillon? I have a guess, but I'd like to know! Thanks.

More importantly, the weight training and everything else is contributing to their confidence to be able to do it. I'm so Orange drunk right now!!!! One month to one month away to basketball starting!!!

Both shirtless, Battle front row left, Gillon front row right making muscles.

Can someone help out by identifying the players by name?

 

[Dave85]

It may take them a few months to learn how to play the top of the 2-3 zone. But I think they are going to be awesome! I just can't wait to see both driving to the basket. I want to see if Gillon can get to the line. I want to see how capable Battle is at getting to the rim with speed. And I really want to see how good Battle's ankle breaking pull-up jumper is.

Exactly what I thought. Mainly because it was his tweet and so he would be the one flexing. Both he and Battle have quite the six packs! Hey-oh!

 

[pearl31]

crap. Chukwu isn't even there, probably home eating twinkies - and Lydon is like way back and detached from the rest other core players and has a unenthusiastic look on his face - already obvious problems with dedication and team chemistry. hello nit
