At 6'11" and only 215 pounds this kid needs to bulk up


a good 40 pounds. Look at him, he's skin and bone. It never ceases to amaze me how everone wants tall, but no one cares about heft. It's whistling past the graveyard. All these talls (not "bigs") get pushed around and are not developmentally skilled until they bulk up. That takes a year at minimum, and that's why you've got to redshirt them if they're going to be any good. But the pressure is on to play them because theyre "big." All you do is screw them up. The rare one or two develop nicely, but the majority are a bust. All because everyone idolizes tall. I guarantee this kid can not play the game like his daddy, although everybody thinks he can because of his name. Why do you think he's going through the portal? Jrs. are like movie sequels. Theres a long line of wannabees with broken dreams.
