Strength and Conditioning ???

Besides being poor basketball players, the players appear physically weak and got bullied all over the court last night. Some of them look like they have never seen the inside of a weight room. My recommendation from now on is that the players be placed on a strict diet of T bone steaks and metal plates.

I watched almost all our games for the past several years . I have also seen we are not physically ready this year. The concept of being lean with a low BMI is wonderful but we just look like we never lifted a weight . And I do realize this isn’t FB. RHJ was considered plumpish … but man the kid could score points when needed. Give a a “ fatboy” who can shoot.

It’s a sad commentary when your head coach says he subs early into the game because the players are exhausted 5 minutes in.

Been saying this for a while now. This season just look at Illinois players compared to ours. Men vs boys. Stark difference almost every game.

I said the same thing over the last couple of years. But was shouted down. Even posted comparison pics of different player development from B1G programs MSU, Illinois and Iowa compared to our players and it was night and day.

The only guys who look physically ready are: skinny Cliff , skinny Wolf , and our most physical freakish guy ( sits and hasn’t played still?) Ogbole.

Shame of it is I think Woolf could use the 20+ pounds he lost if we want to keep treating him like a center. Just can’t bang with Big Ten bigs down low

That’s exactly my point. Wolf is not going to the NBA… he actually played better at say 250 than 235… He was a football player.
