Hitting the gym. HARD!

That's our starting point guard. He's putting in the work, solidifying that starting spot.

#BIGEASTGAFF

Alright, I'll bite. I was in the "RJ Cole was brought in to start" camp.

I'll slide over to the best facilitator and defender may start. And if Gaffney's increased strength and athleticism leads to improvement on the defensive end, then it'll be an interesting camp battle.

@Huskymagic guess the Gaffney conversation picked up here

I like that mrstrengthuc didn’t have to change his handle lol

I've never seen Akok that big before.

Gotta love how much he's hyping these guys up mentally to be physical beasts... good camera angles and all that adds to the confident mindset

As Prime Time said,
"If you look good, you feel good,
If you feel good, you play good,
If you play good, then they pay good" [...hopefully not yet]

I motion for an immediate induction into Boneyard HOF

Rudy Gobert set the record (not counting Tacko Fall for obvious reasons) at 9’ 7 and Javonte can grow 2 more inches conceivably.

I love what he's doing highlighting each kids improvement or strengths. Great motivator.

Was curious so I looked up the standing reach of some of the NBAs top centers.

Joker: 9'3
Embiid: 9'5
KAT: 9'5
Gobert: 9'7
Adebayo: 9'
Vucevic: 9'4.5
Ayton: 9'3
Aldridge: 9'2
Ibaka: 9'1
Adams: 9'1.5
Drummond: 9'1
B Lopez: 9'5

Tacko Fall: 10'2.5

At 7'0 240lbs with a 7'5 wingspan and that standing reach, his physical profile is fantastic. If he can get strong and in great shape, he could be a serious talent. He's always had super soft hand and some decent post moves.

What about Mr. Unibrow???

For me Gaffney was and is the starter. This only solidifies it for me. A guy that replaced Rique and led us to 19 wins in his freshman year which is better than what Cole was able to do in his 2 years at Howard deserves to start until proven otherwise.

Either way I like what I see from our new strength coach. Best strength coach we’ve had in forever.

Whenever I'm having a bad day, I look back on this and laugh hysterically. Thank you.

Guy is a beast and only a Freshman

 

[bmayuc]

Remember when we used to look like boys playing against men? Those days are over.

I remember during the Emeka/Thabeet days where the other team would sort of test the waters the first few possessions with entering into the post, get swatted and bullied, then completely give up and start focusing on bombing 3's and dribble drives.

That was very satisfying from a physical dominance perspective, and it seems to be where we have headed again. Awesome.

He’s a reclass freshman too. It’s great to have a freshman front court player with his frame, guessing by the end of the season he’ll be playing some significant minutes.

Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

I’m uncomfortable

Who is the last beast we had like that. Adrien? & he’s only a Fresh. WOW. He will be UF Pat Young at this rate

 

[MDHuskFan]

Javonte Brown wrote “weight room getting me right” and then took 1 power dribble and dunked between his legs...
I’m trying hard not to get overly excited for this squad

 

[Jimdish255]

Gaffney seems like a steady development guy. He makes it his business to make everyone else better. Gaining the confidence to make some clutch shots will separate him from the pack. Hoping and believing he gets there.

He is way bigger than Adrien ever was.
