Yes... You caught on.So - literally his ENTIRE lower body then?
I'd say Carey looks more wiry and ripped than 'muscular'.

Baye had the whole Ramadan thing going. It's hard to bulk up when you're fasting for a month.Here is the picture in question:

Not sure a lot can be determined on the builds of any of the players based on that photo. My guess is that he is at about 210 but that is just a guess.
Here is one taken when he was on campus last fall. Here you can see his arms are not sticks and he has something to work with.
One more. I think this is a year old. Again, he has some upper body muscle to build on. Believe he went from 190 to 210 over the past year.
I expect him to be about 215 when preseason practices start next fall. That is right where Jesse was at the same time. Hoping he is able to put on weight faster than Jesse did. That is going to be a huge key towards his development, or lack thereof. BMK also came to Syracuse around. 215. I think he left as a senior at 216. JAB needled him about it at the Hardwood Club dinner at the end of his senior season. IF he wants to be a factor, he needs to add at least 5 pounds every offseason, preferably 10.
Agree, he is likely not going to play a lot as a frosh. We would ideally redshirt him. That assumes Jesse and Frank return. Otherwise, we are going to need some help from the portal.
That’s not the picture I was referring to. I don’t remember seeing that one.Here is the picture in question:

Why is Buddy posing in street clothes?That’s not the picture I was referring to. I don’t remember seeing that one.
There‘s the one above in this thread at #703, and this one from the tweet in the Mintz thread:

…and various videos of and Bunch and Mintz in their respective threads. They’re all bony maroneys.
Doesn’t mean they can’t play. And Carey does look strong, but still not who I want to see ‘wasted’ at center.

Might take him another year to figure out how to play basketball again.The kid missed one year of playing due to Covid and another due to a knee injury. Do we really want to redshirt him?
Boom goes the dynamite.Might take him another year to figure out how to play basketball again.
He seems like the prototypical “take a flyer and hope we hit a home run” type recruit. He’s really a mystery recruit. Could be a boom or bust.
I think he has the highest ceiling. But...missing essentially 2 straight seasons for a big is not a good thing.He’s the most athletic kid in the class.
Well, if Peter doesn’t get up to 220 or so (enough weight to compete in the ACC), or if Jesse and Frank both return and stay healthy, I would say yes.The kid missed one year of playing due to Covid and another due to a knee injury. Do we really want to redshirt him?
Jessie still has two years left if he chooses to stay.Well, if Peter doesn’t get up to 220 or so (enough weight to compete in the ACC), or if Jesse and Frank both return and stay healthy, I would say yes.
He has missed two seasons and worse still, the last season he played, he played for a small school in the middle of nowhere (north of Springfield, MA) against very lackluster competition. For the games I have stats for, he averaged just over 13 points per game. He did well for a young big but didn’t exactly dominate the league.
It would be great if he could spend the year getting stronger and scrimmaging against our bigs. Getting forced to play early against players far more physically mature and far more experienced is not ideal.
Jesse is gone after next season, so if Pete works hard and waits a year, he is pretty much guaranteed a place in the rotation. Who knows, he might be the starter the following year. I think Jesse and Frank both were fine athletes coming out of HS/prep but Peter looks like he is probably more skilled and athletic.
Hope Pete works hard and is able to stay healthy. He does have a high ceiling but he has a lot of catching up to do.
Correct. But he isn’t going to take both years.Jessie still has two years left if he chooses to stay.
I thought the same, but then saw that Tomcat posted it, so I assume it’s likely so.Jessie still has two years left if he chooses to stay.
I would assume his MD and physical therapist have given/are giving him guidance on the kind of strength training that is safe for him. Strengthening is a normal part of the therapy process and adding quality weight is an extension of adding strength and the corresponding hypertrophy that takes place. Adding strength and quality weight safely will help reduce the chances for injury in the future, especially if he is focusing on maintining balance between posterior and anterior chains and strengthening sometimes ignored stabilizer muscles.If Peter has lower body injury issues, i'm not enthusiastic about him putting on weight. If it's just the kind that comes with increasing strength, sure, but i don't think i want him bulking up just for the sake of it, until his legs are demonstrably healthy.
Here is more Peter Carey at his workout last month.Peter Carey worked out at my buddy's facility yesterday in Mass and he posted some photos. Said he is the real deal...
He’s got crazy skill…could be a point guard…incredible handle...
Yup. Obviously needs to get stronger.I think offensively he could probably do stuff for us from day one - on defense and rebounding, though, just don't think he'll be able to really contribute* until the following season
(*except for getting out on corner 3s)
