S & C matters……

[capeorange]

This isn’t gonna cut it going up against men. Let’s see what these guys look like physically by year 2 if they are still around:

Kiyan Anthony	G	6-5	185	Fr.
Luke Fennell	G	6-6	190	Fr.
Sadiq White	PF	6-9	200	Fr.
Aaron Womack	SF	6-6	170	Fr.

Are these accurate?
We can recruit pretty much the entire planet and we're still getting skinny zone guys.
Part of the evaluation process is getting guys who aren't going to get their azzes knocked around game after game.

I don't know, there are a couple of Camp North Star hoop legends who never spent a second in the weightroom

# 3, lower right...

Our new PG.

Go get him Alex.

I'm not saying it's not important and we shouldn't prioritize it but some guys are Paul Harris and some guys are Michael Carter Williams. You can't recruit a bunch of string beans and then put it all on the S&C program.

I still think and knowany frame can add muscle and strength now how much is based on 1 food and 2 training.

To add to that, muscle mass, or lack-thereof, isn’t a barrier to success in basketball. There are and have been a lot of successful NBA players who go their entire careers with an apparent allergy to barbells.

When you don't have a roster full of future nba players you need every advantage you can get. We've had our guys pushed around in the paint for years until this past year, although Eddie was not the picture of a well conditioned athlete. I think we need more muscle and mass than we currently have or we'll pushed around again.

S&C doesn’t hurt. I suppose my point is that you can still play basketball at a high level without it. That doesn’t mean you can ignore it, as we seem to, but you can’t point to the team not doing enough back squats as much of a contributing factor to lack of success.

Not only does it not hurt, it's essential. I think we both agree S&C is a lot more than squats, it's being able to close out a game without being gassed and fight for rebounds without getting stripped. I agree that we seem to ignore it and it's pretty obvious.

Meanwhile some of our players literally look like children compared to these dudes, while some others don’t look like they can do 10 chin-ups.

They need to stop letting them order out from chain restaurants and ordering whatever it is that they want and get serious about diets and shaping there bodies in the weight room and with drills.

Point taken for sure and agreed but players running < 5:30m miles? That I am a bit skeptical. That’s an insane time for someone 260lb

Fastest Time - 5:07 (6'3'' - 196lbs)
Slowest Time - 5:45 (6'9'' - 260lbs)
Team Average - 5:19

I’m not skeptical at all. These guys are clearly in ridiculous shape. I mean I ran a low 6 minute mile in elementary school on grass. They are Final 4 level, D1 college kids running on a track. A single mile at that speed in their physical condition is believable.

An aggressive S&C program also weeds out the guys who don't want to work hard or play hard. The Houston's and Auburn's may have more talent but they also play like junk yard dogs. Red needs to talk to Coach Fran about installing DART in the basketball program and amping up the intensity in the offseason and at practice.
