Just asked my "source" about Sal out of curiosity

Apparently he's all over these kids on diet and meal prep. Has made Akok eat snacks on the bench during games, lol. Tracks basically everything they eat.

Not a screaming/intense guy in the gym like you might expect from his incidents before uconn. Does expect intensity from the guys though like Hurley. More methodical, scientific than you might expect. Source says doing some kind of martial art has mellowed him out?

Really working towards getting the players to be able to do olympic lifts, deadlifts, etc. But for bball players (they are tall, skinny, and disproportional have the time) it can take a lot of prep to get them there. Thats what youre seeing with Akok. I do know hes been with a high level strength program since.at least November before he got to uconn.

Seems to think Sid has had a reality check this year. Hoping he's more dedicated to the gym because of it.

Is really impressed with Sal. Hes willing to bring in other strength/PT experts for help, works hard, creating a great culture. If a kid doesnt come back next year prepared for the season, its their own fault.
