Last I saw, after his body transformation (which probably isn't finished), Matt was listed at 225 pounds. Marek and Oshae have been listed at 200 pounds.

Matt will actually be the heaviest (and strongest) PF Syracuse has had in years.

These are all weights from cuse.com:

Last year, Tyler Lydon was 223, Taurean Thompson was 225 and Tyler Roberson was listed at 226.

Chris McCullough was listed at 220 when he was at Syracuse.

I bet Matt is stronger and heavier than all these guys by the start of the season.  No question rebounding, especially defensive rebounding, is a concern.  Matt is our best bet to address it and if he proves a strong rebounder and plays good defense, he is going to get a lot of playing time, even if he turns out to be TRob II on offense.  I don't expect that to happen though.  Matt is too aggressive and smart to struggle on offense really badly.

It would be great if the other guys could get to 210 or so by the start of the season.  Their raw athletic ability will help overcome their lack of bulk but they are going to get their butts handed to them a lot underneath once we get into conference play.
