Kevin Durant to The NBA Ty Lawson not going pro

No about 35 pounds most likely... its not uncommon football lineman gain up to about 90 pounds while staying in college. Brackman for NCSU gained about 35 from his freshmen to his sophomore year.

 

Um Hansbrough was 240 entering college. He put on a whole 5 lbs since being there. Thompson was 245 as a freshman. Hell Brandon Wright who everyone thought was too light at 6'9" 210lb is heavier, but even at that weight Wright had a 7'5" wingspan to help make up for it.

 

First of all WTF?!?!?

Second while that is the case football linemen also don't need to maintain the same endurance level's basketball players do. So adding 90lbs of fat is easy for them. 35 lbs of muscle is another story. Kudos to Brackman, but he seemed to regress from his freshmen to sophomore year as well.

 

Scout had him at 225

cant take anything away from wright he was nothing less then amazing. But im telling you from the time singler and king get onto campus they will start gaining massive amounts of weight and muscle. Its almost like if one wasnt very smart. From the second they got onto campus they would have a tutor going to them to every single class and helping them with every single assignment at a big school. From the second they get onto campus to the time they leave they will be on a strict eating and workout schedule. When Chris Duhon was in school by his senior year he had 1 to 2 tutors with him at all times helping him pass his classes. Putting on weight and gaining strength wont be a problem. Its not quite like gaining inches. You can help yourself gain weight. You cant make yourself grow.

Whatever - it's a log way from 210.

 

That was high school senior weigh in. Roy told him to hit the Gym hard from his Senior year, through college that summer, and the weigh in was what he was at at the start of Midnight Madness. I'll see if I can't find where he reported at 240.

 

So therefore he has put on 20 pounds in two years. Twenty pounds for singler would put him at a reasonable 220 and tyler hansbrough didnt need it as much as him so that wasnt their main focus like it will be on Singler.

 

None of that stuff matters. It's all in the size of their sneakers.

 

Is that by the start of the UNC season or fresh out of highschool?
