Every player we've seen recent photos of looks visibly more muscular than last season.

They are definitely putting in the lifting work.  This was one of my complaints about JB, year  after year, guys like Dolezaj would look exactly the same physically, often for all 4 years. I was so skinny as a freshman that I could have hidden behind a sapling, and putting in weight was hard, but without any kind of professional guidance or nutrition, I went from 145 to 165 of good weight during college.  It isn't that hard.

It's one thing to come into college slight of build, but it's a problem with the program when it's a rarity for guys to develop physically.

A proper workout regimen makes you stronger, bigger and more explosive athletically. It was a huge problem that we just gave away the benefits because of some nebulous "muscles hurt shooting" superstition held over from the 60's.

Between the obvious recruiting improvement and the renewed efforts in the weight room, I'm liking Red's tenure as coach more and more.

And I loved JB.  Red has a long way to go before proving he can fill those massive shoes.
