Duke at 200 by sophomore season? No way man

Why? It's a/b 10 pounds. Maybe 12 after the grind of the season. He'll have January to next August (32 weeks). That's a measly ~3500 calorie surplus every ~3 weeks. That means he just has to eat about 1200 more calories PER WEEK more than what it takes for him to maintain his regular body mass. He can get that on supplementing coconut oil alone, but my hope is the staff has nutrition in better order these days.

I thought coconut oil was the newest ultra healthy craze?

Deon Bush recently put on twitter that he was at 193 and a couple of pounds away from his goal weight.

big kid......\\

its not all bad...but some of it is "soft"......kid will probably be better around 330.

I'm a big guy...and last time i stood side by side with him...i knew he was about 6'4...he was always listed closer to 6'2. Danny has a big lower body/..that is wide..which is ually good for interior guys.
 
The only real figures you will ever see on any football player, is if they get invited to the NFL combine.


I don't give a **** what it says on paper, I want to see them on the field, hitting hard, pursuing plays, wrapping up tackles, dominating the man in front of them, and outrunning defenders.


**** the numbers.


Results are what matters.

The eyeball test is more important than made up height/weight/ and forty times and weight room numbers.
 
Also very interested in knowing where the newbies are strength wise. Not concerned about the DBs, but more so about the LBs and DL.

A couple notes on the listings:

- Seemingly straightforward RS candidates: J. Blue, two of the 3 QBs, Nate Dortch, Mccord (he might not get one, but he should), Vernon Davis, Herb Waters.

- If those are real weights for Hoilett and Hamilton, they will play DE here as a True Frosh.

- Is Malcolm Lewis really 6' 194 as a True Frosh? For real? First of all, I don't think he's 6', but is he really up over 190? If so, he's going to play quite a bit.

- Is Duke still just a couple burritos above 180? I would have expected him to come in at around 5' 9" 190ish and work his way up to 5' 9" 200 by his Sophomore season.

- A couple of those DTs are gonna get significant enough burn.

When I read the first line I briefly saw it to mean " Seemingly straightforward Randy Shannon candidates:" because I just posted about how he would have been fired already if he hadn't been fired.

Anyway, I almost threw up in my mouth a little.
 
It does seem like this group has come in ready to compete. Love that type of attitude, need to see it finally equate to more wins.

I've seen a bunch of them. Unfortunately, outside of the headliners, I don't recognize most.

Tracy Howard is much bigger than 170 IMO. I've seen him several times and I'd be surprised if he didn't weigh 180+. He already has decent size, IMO. He does not look like a freshman.

Lockhart is a legit 6'1". Might even be a bit taller. He's very slender though. I'm buying on the 176 estimation.

Duke looks about right. He isn't a big guy.

Edit: I last saw Flowers 2 or 3 months ago, but I don't think he's 312. Less than that IMO. Just my guess. Regardless of what he weighs though, carries his weight well. For being a big kid, didn't see much baby fat. Seems like a fairly well-conditioned guy for his age and size.

2nd Edit: Lu, agreed re: Malcolm. I saw him at the Hialeah spring game and I don't think he's 6'0" or 190+. Seems exaggerated on both fronts.

It is. Coconut oil seems to slow and even reverse the mind loss aspect of alzheimer's.
 
I told y'all that my prime "whiteboy douchebag" candidate was Jake O'Donnell. He just gives off that "I don't give a **** because I'm richer and better than you" vibe. Kid is gonna dominate some mother truckers.

Also, I know this makes me seem like a turrible fan, but can somebody give me some info on what I can expect from Ivery? I just don't remember hearing a lot about him.
