If I was in Missouri I would say to Josh, "Just show me". But man I want this to be true.

Maybe he might say"I spent the summer with Sal in Connecticut; the Land of Steady Habits"

Am I the only one who remembered him being 6'9" previously? Does Sal also have workouts that can add a couple of inches? Anywhere? asking for a friend...

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
yeah, it just might happen, but if that scenario develops, he'd proally hang around cuz the team would be in the national conversation for the following season. we're all familiar with alla yoos 'expert' opinion on mr. carlton, the AAC's MIP, from last season's hatefest.

Yes, he's going to turn into junior year Okafor this season. Going to be hard for him to turn down being the #2 pick in the draft.

This much you need to know: Carlton, 6 feet 11, is ready to fully emerge from his shell, cast it away and ascend another level, and he is determined to take his place among that group. He stayed on campus all summer and, under the guidance of human performance director Sal Alosi, who emphasized technique and explosiveness, Carlton has filled out to 260 pounds, about 25 more than last season. Mind and body now seem in optimum sync.

“I feel I can impose my will more,” he says. “Before, being underweight for me — because 235 wasn’t the ideal weight for me — I was competing with other bigs, but I wasn’t imposing my will, dominating.”

He looked like he improved last season but I’ve seen too many Mr. Septembers, to paraphrase George Steinbrenner. I’ll wait until real games begin before buying into the hype.

Love this because Alex went to Missouri to show UConn and didn't. Josh did not leave and will show us.

Can we dream about others making a similar leap in progression? I hope so.
I'm hopeful we see a big leap by Brendan. It's important for many reasons. This is Dan's recruit. He did more than any player on the team over the summer with the coaches demands.

It is probably not even possible to gain 25lbs of just muscle. The 'solid' is the hyperbole tell though.
Is there a difference between muscle & 'solid' muscle?
What's are the non solid muscle types that merit such a distinction? Limp muscle, mushy muscles or liquid muscles?

If he blows up he could be a first round pick maybe in the 20’s. 6’11” 260 , but we need to see a lot more blocked shots.

Come on man. He isn't 6'11 and legit 6'11 low post manchilds aren't getting drafted first round anymore. He could turn into a very good college player but I promise you don't have to worry about the NBA taking him away from us.

There are no “legit” heights on any roster but the kid coulda grown an inch or 2 in 2 years and anyway Dom said it was so. It is nice to know that we don’t have to worry about the NBA with your “promise”.

Josh seems really focused and dedicated so he might have a chance to make an NBA roster. He has 2 years to improve and I expect him to be at least 7’1” 290 by then (;))
