FWIW, he was 215 as a freshman at vandy and played well. Playing shape is more important than weight. Fat vs. muscle...

He did play well, but he would be a lot quicker if he was lighter.

Not sayin but just sayin...a whole lot of the girls playing in the WCWS would be hard pressed to get down to 208.

(just a one liner...they were all really good and size helped)

I just hope he gets in shape by the Bradley game

The Tiger Ladies must have lobbied not to have their weights posted.

it's just a number

Larry Finch "little tubby" was pretty good at playing a bit heavier, but its very hard. You have to be really special.

He said in one of the early post-game shows that basketball simply is not his passion. Just flat out said it with no equivocation. This was after a win and woloshin was asking him about his future or something like that.

That is not good for a high level program. He needs to be somewhere else if true but that is not happening. Not saying basketball is life, but at their age, and with the scholarships they receive, they should make it their passion while here. Young man is going to wake up one day very, very soon in the real world and wish he had applied himself to basketball. Its a pretty good gig, especially in today's economy, even if you are overseas. I wish him luck whatever his priorities are but I'm looking for someone that makes it their priority if they expect to get minutes on the floor during game time..

We've (hopefully) got more options this year.

I hear Tarrant's killing it.

I hope Tarrant's the answer cuz Kedren ain't

Loving the hearsay news about Tarrant....here...there...and everywhere.

Who is he killing it against....Kedren...Avery? Please.

Nice to have Damon back working with these guys.

We should hire Frank again...at least just for the summer.
It'd be fun to hear about Kedren running in sand for a few weeks. 8-)

I remember when Modibo was scoring 40 a game in the Finch summer games and Barham was shooting 70% from three.

I would certainly wait until Bluff City to see what they really can do. Remember Pellom scoring 20 a game?
