Putting on some muscle/weight

[nallen34]

It looks like they updated the weight of the players on Cyclones.com.

Booker from 250 to 255
Clyburn from 205 to 210
Ejim from 220 to 230
Percy from 245 to 260
Niang from 235 to 245
Okoro from 220 to 230
Long from 195 to 210
Dorsey-Walker from 175 to 190.

Cool. Next year's results will be determined by Booker, Niang, Ejim and Percy's abilities to defend and rebound in the paint. Hopefully those guys play like 255, 245, 230 and 260.

Okoro is what, 6'4? Dude must be built like a fire hydrant.

[LakeHavasu]

With Okoro being 6' 4", 230 lbs sounds a little heavy. He is supposed to be a small forward type ??
230 lbs sounds like a undersized power foward.

230 lbs sounds like a undersized linebacker.

FIFY

Remember Kantrail Horton? He was 6'1" and played at about 225. He played at the 1 and the 3 in a three guard offense.

Id take Bubu off the list.

I remember Jon Rothstein saying on twitter that Okoro is cut and built like a truck. I think he will play the 3, but I have no idea. I do love that he plays solid defense, something I think we were missing last year (outside of Babb and Ejim).

The thing that our young guys put on the most weight. Percy, Naz, and Dorsey-Walker all put on 15 lbs a piece. Niang, Okoro, and Ejim all put on 10 lbs a piece. It's going to be nice to have our two Centers at 260 and 255 and our two PF's at 245 and 230.

Okoro is 6'5 230 lbs. He is a SF/SG. Not a big scorer but a solid defender. He is not a PF. Pretty much a clone of Babb who is 6'5 225 lbs. Okoro just doesn't shoot the 3 as much as Babb.

[enisthemenace]

What's Melvin...6'6"?? Okoro at the same weight and an inch shorter, playing/defending the 3, is great, IMO.

[cy4prez7]

Melvin does look bigger when I see him on campus! I'm liking the weight increases. Okoro is the same height and 5 lbs more than Babb. I don't think that's a very big deal!

[marothisu]

Well, you would hope it's muscle. Gibson going from 245 to 260 where it's not muscle would not be good.

Bubu will probably start losing some weight....

I thought they get three square meals a day....
