Geoff and John Martin are on the air saying the Pookie/Nick King desire to train with Frank is due to Frank telling those kids only he can get them NBA ready and that Josh and staff are not getting the job done. In the kid's ears....

Used the term "Frank is trashing the program."

Wow.

I'd doubt it. They're probably just chumming the waters due to the drama around Pookie.

That being said, there's an issue if the kids would rather travel to the left coast to train with someone rather than stay home and train in Memphis' state of the art facilities. Of course, the kids have no idea who they'd train with here as we haven't hired a S&C coach yet, so Frank > no one.

Its in the CA.

Josh doesn't walk on water to everyone ya know. The wheels are slowing falling off...

this is the catch....we need to get someone (good) in here asap so players & recruits aren't left wondering what styles/methods are going to be used here.

Just lift some damn weights.

Has anyone informed those two that they are not and never will be blake griffin? Dude was a freak before he started training with Frank. I've come to the conclusion that Frank's training methods work best for people who are already at a certain level of fitness.

Yep, it's not rocket science....lift weights + eat right = get stronger.

Or be a real talent (see skinny Penny) and ball

The guys down in Florida figured it out. Worked out pretty well for them.

What, those are weights behing them. Where are the sandhill and the monkeybars?

Seems like the UMass strength and conditioning guy is doing good work, has some before and after pictures in his twitter feed.

He's a familiar name, too.

He already been run off once by Pastner

1) Different time.

2) Ain't none of those guys (or really almost anyone) a Penny-like talent.

Perhaps it's time to bury the hatchet.

Penny was also a point guard. I'm much more concerned with our guys down low.

Not sandhills and monkey bars, but...

Lots of different approaches seem to work, if you apply yourself.

Damn, would have liked to see Joe bulk up like that Putney kid did. That was always my beef with Frank. He seemed good at either taking big, physical freaks (Griffin) and making them freakier, or taking the chubby/endomorph and peeling off fat (see Chris Crawford/Stan Simpson).

Joe just got more ripped, but kept the same weight. Looks great on a beach, but driving down the lane, not so much. But, that is what you will get if you are doing body weight resistance, running sandhills and climbing ropes. (Basically a P90X/Insanity look).

I'll take the job. Use Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength method (compound exercises - squats, bench, shoulder press, deadlifts, cleans) and eat a gram of protein per pound of body weight per day.

They'll see progress in no time. It's really not that complicated.

That's all genetics and the Florida strength and conditioning coaches had no part of those physiques according to posters here.

Essentially Crossfit.
