Well, as touchy as this issue may be, it is a real concern. In fact, that was the first thing that I noticed during UConn's struggles vs. Stanford last week - KML's lack of speed because of her added bulk enabled Stanford's guards to blow past her either during single coverage or in pick and roll situations and. As far as Karlie SAMUELSON being able to literally hogtie KML on the offensive end, I thought that Geno should have made a little bit of adjustment and posted her up to take advantage of her bulk advantage over Karlie S.
But I think this issue can be simply addressed by having their trainers supervise her nutritional intake and alter her conditioning program.
DiMauro rattling the fan's cages again. It gets him attention.

So I guess we disagreeKML was heroic in last year's NCAAs. That being said, after all the press blather about her off season efforts with UConn staff I was shocked by her physique in the return to school. Wonder if she has some endocrinal/ metabolic issues blocking progress, but I do not think anything unfair was said in this article.

Mike is stirring the pot which is something he seems to specialize in. Ever notice how he is not one of the Horde who regularly attends practices, games, etc.
She supposedly worked on her conditioning and diet all summer with the strength coach. Compare her summer results with Stef's of 2 years ago!
I did not read the article and I don't know the reason, but didn't Geno say a few days ago that KML has lost a step ?
Yes he said she had lost a step. Unfortunately, the teams we play are not going to worry about the BYers when they blow past her on the way to the basket. Hopefully Geno will worry about how to best utilize KML this year and not dream about how she played in last year's tournament games.
I think this is an issue that is best resolved by the team trainer and/or physician. They are far more qualified to assess KLM's weight and conditioning than the media and BY. Most of this thread is nonsense.
I have no comments to offer on the specific KML issue but, regarding what's appropriate, I'm glad we're not still in the past. I think this particular topic is a highly relevant basketball issue.In the past these discussions on players was considered inappropriate.
