[husky429]

Carlton: 6'11" 265lbs. What a transformation

 

[kansashusky]

Brendan Adams (6’4) is the same weight as Tyler Polley (6’8) and Richie Springs (6’9). All 200 lbs

 

[JohnFSilver]

Carlton: 6'11" 265lbs. What a transformation

I think those height and weight are coaches goals,
Not actual weights. Ha ha.

Carlton: 6'11" 265lbs. What a transformation

too bad he can't share some lbs with the rest of the frontcourt. akok 6'9 195, springs 6'9 200, polley 6'8 200. whaley really did get up to 225 tho

Akok is 6' 9, 195. How many guys on the board are the same weight and a foot shorter?

 

[B1GEast]

It would have been nice to see Polley add more weight considering how much time he's on the floor, but it is what it is

[MDHuskFan]

No Diarra listed with staff?

 

[Chin Diesel]

On the bright side, Hurley challenged Whaley to put on weight and Whaley is up to 225.

 

[Scrutiner]

Carlton: 6'11" 265lbs. What a transformation

And it looks like all muscle:

Akok is 6' 9, 195. How many guys on the board are the same weight and a foot shorter?

I'm 11 inches shorter and about 30 lbs. heavier.

 

[InKembaITrust]

Springs should be working out with Whaley.

Anyone think we'll see lineups with Polly, Sid, and Akok on the court?

 

[InKembaITrust]

Our achilles heal the whole season will be Josh in foul trouble.

 

[UConnStats]

Whaley has looked noticeably bigger, but 225 seems ambitious. Either way, with our lack of size, we’re going to need a lot of weak side rim protection from Akok/Sid/Springs when Whaley is at the 5.

 

[gtcam]

Our achilles heal the whole season will be Josh in foul trouble.

And teams will be going at Akok with bigger guys
Both JC and Akok in foul trouble will be painful

 

[UofCT]

Anyone think we'll see lineups with Polly, Sid, and Akok on the court?

Only during blowouts

 

[DonaldDraper]

The August optimism is strong! My three keys to a Huskies turnaround this year:

Akok - Needs to be as good as billed and an above average inside-out player

Bouknight/Gaffney - One of em needs to step up and balance the floor and keep a defender locked in to let AG penetrate

AG - needs to stay healthy.

It is a lot to ask of much from Freshman, but they have a good opportunity to stand out on this team.

Springs listed at 6'9

The most amazing part of this roster is when you look at the relative height versus weight comparison between the freshman/first year players and those that have been with the team for at least a year. I know that some of that is tied to age and natural growth, but seeing CV at the same height as Gaffney with 12lbs more. Or AG being 4" shorter than JB and still being 5lbs heavier. I know there are outliers and different factors that play into individual weight/muscle growth, but it's super encouraging to see our guys getting bigger and stronger. Now we just have to see how it plays out on the court!

 

[Husky68]

Akok is 6' 9, 195. How many guys on the board are the same weight and a foot shorter?

Only 7 inches shorter! But am 5 lbs. heavier. And that's after losing 50 lbs.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Akok is 6' 9, 195. How many guys on the board are the same weight and a foot shorter?

I wish. I'm 30 pounds heavier. He can have 50 of mine. 175 would be ideal.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Brendan Adams (6’4) is the same weight as Tyler Polley (6’8) and Richie Springs (6’9). All 200 lbs

People sleeping on this kid. I expect him to be 210-15 when all is said and done and be one of the linebacker type guards that have always given us fits.

 

[awfuldan]

Josh Carlton at 265lbs is insane. That's 30 pounds heavier than last year! Is that too much weight?

Akok at 195 is disappointing but it's been pretty apparent that he's put a lot of work in. Feel like he is the biggest question mark going in to next year. Would love to see him have a great year.

 

[DonaldDraper]

People sleeping on this kid. I expect him to be 210-15 when all is said and done and be one of the linebacker type guards that have always given us fits.

He needs to be exceptional in one of the following categories to break out: speed, handle, shooting or D.

I didn't see him ready to break out in any of these. Given his size, he can offer a better player a good breather if he is a solid defender, but its hard to put a player in for extended minutes if his size only makes him marginally better on D than another player the helps the offense flow.
