Some serious gains in that article. Too bad Marek's body just won't add weight but did manage to gain another inch.

*sees thread title and prays this is Rothstein*


Edit: so when does Guerrier move to defensive tackle?

Love these kind of articles where we learn something that may not be easily obvious just watching clips.

Jokes aside, it’s nice to see preseason articles busting narratives. Even if it provides me some crow.

Guerrier already seemed pretty thicc and he gained another ten lbs of muscle?

i saw a picture last week & thought jba looked on his way to being jacked . . . upper body, anyway. legs looked like they still needed work

 

[Newhouser]

eh these articles seem to pop up every year and frankly I haven't noticed the development over the last few years. I think our football S&C is way beyond the hoops results. HOpe to notice the gains this year.

 

[GooseMutt]

Somebody hit somebody! This is what we live for!

Sarcasm aside, it appears this team has a big heart, willingness to work and desire to win and be successful. Add in team play and no selfishness and I’m happy regardless of outcome.

When we don't run and gun as much as some are expecting, who's going to be the first to suggest it's because we're now too heavy and slow?

Well yeah, their bodies are completely different and need to be formed for completely different purposes. Don't want a bunch of Cooneys out there getting too bulky.

He’s pulling a Melo (OG)

Ajak has me very intrigued. I look forward to seeing what he can do.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It seems that players are more accountable in the weight room compared to several years ago. It appeared to be optional in the past or at least no one held them accountable.

 

[cusefan88]

I think JBA needs 2-3 seasons to really be good. But by that time I bet he's a solid 6-10 240lbs. He's going to be a good one.

 

[CuseTG2003]

I bulked up too this summer. Big whup.

 

[Chip]

I bulked up when I went to Italy. Food, wine, gelato, wine, food, wine, wine, wine, gelato.

Not sure which is the most impressive!

I think Goodine and JBA. Maybe they don’t contribute w/out that added weight. We know Buddy and Marek will regardless, but can’t hurt.

not sure how much we'll see . . . barring injury, i'd bet bourama is going to get 30 mpg

Dib seems healthy, but he’s still a fouling machine.

Other than Rak’s Sr year, we’ve pretty much never had a C average more than maybe 25 mins this Millennium.

I doubt Boo is the next exception.

If Bourama can average 25 mpg it could be a really fun season

I’ll take that bet all day. I’ll root like hell for that guy but I don’t know what anyone has seen to this point that says Sidibe will be anything but a serviceable body in there. No way this guy plays 30 a game. I could see one of the freshman passing him this year.

The guy put up like 18-14 at Pitt on eroding knees. He can be a BIG factor if healthy.

Sid has skills. Its all about his health. I think he will play 15 to 20 a game if healthy. With Tendinitis im sure the staff will be careful to not push him too much.
