Duval's S&C - Year 2

[WyoHusker56]

Couple of things I found interesting in the updated roster related to S&C:

Garrett Nelson is listed at 6'3 260 already - I'm buying him as a contributor this year with his motor if he's anywhere near that size. Size was really my only question with him, he's a good enough athlete and just plays harder than other guys.

Washington is still fairly small at 190, but if he's actually 190 this year (and plays) that's huge. From what I remember hearing he was in the 170s most of last year.

Tannor at only 220 is kind of surprising, and makes me wonder what he actually played at last year - 200? I don't know how big he's supposed to get, but with the other huge gains in years 1 and 2 I expected him over 230.

Ben Stille didn't have a huge jump (290 to 295), but similar to Washington if he's actually near the listed weight that's big. He got mauled against Iowa, it was painful when he would slide down to the A gap. Think I remember hearing upper 270s for him last year, 15-20 lbs would help a lot.

I'm hoping the refs let them play in the defensive backfield, because our corners are huge and should be able to push receivers around. Bootle is the exception, but Jackson, Taylor, and Clark are all 210+ and Wright and Newsome have the frames to be that size as well.

Here's one too, Ty Robinson is listed at 6'6" and 315. If he's actually close to that and plays at that then holy cow he should push for major playing time and contribute.

Yeah I wonder how much of that is good weight, if I remember right he was pretty larger at the Army All-American game and not in a good way.

I thought Devaney was doing conditioning in the mid 60s

'69 is when they hired Epley.

I really hope Mo Washington is incorrect.  He was way too light.  Esp for his height/running style.

190 is fine for Mo. 195-200 would be better, but he shouldn’t be over that.

I betcha last year was a generous 190 and reality was closer to 175 by looking at him. Let's see what he looks like this year.

Frost said last season Washington was happy whenever his weight was over 180.

if that is the case that is fine.  he was too light last year

I agree. He was nowhere near 190 last year. If his true weight is now 190, he’s fine.

What the actual F.

"didn't even do that"

I'm glad we're past this kind of thinking.

That's insane! They did a body mass for kids when I went to a lifting camp at NU in high school. That's like a basic thing for any major strength program and understanding where you're at.
