I don’t think size at DE will be an issue next season. Loghtfoot is currently 230, if he adds an 20 pounds like he did last offseason he will be 250.
None of those players have experience other then Lightfoot, who was only a pass rusher and you're expecting him to put 20lbs on in 8 months. Also if you expect him to go from 210 to 250 in 18 months and not slow down, that's impressive. While the other end will replace a 1-2 rounder.
Dude that’s some crazy weight gain expectations, is this D’Onofrio’s burner?
This is college football bro, every year there will be players who must play that do not have experience. Although Scroggins has been logging meaningful minutes, he also played against Texas A&M.
Weight gain doesn’t work like you think it works.
Yep. A lot of people dont realize how hard it is to gain quality weight.
It’s a projection, the only thing we can actually do.
He will be in the mix next year no doubt. The questions to me are Pickett & McConathey. We need 1/2 to step up otherwise we gotta hope one of these incoming freshmen are truly ready, but thats why we all figure portal d end is a priority. You cant lose Bain + Mesi and just hope for youngsters to step in, need a vet in that room. But I like Scroggins in general, gives me that Trent Harris just shows up does his job quietly vibe.
I said 10 - 20 pounds. He is already 230 has gained 23 pounds since arriving. According to DMoney Scroggins is up to 255 - 260 now.
I don't see Lightfoot gaining another 20 pounds this offseason. These kids get an initial bump in weight with the meal plans for athletes and access to better S&C. It's similar to the freshman 15 most regular students get, just better weight. After that bump, you don't typically see those types of gains again without "supplementation" or the addition of bad weight. The body just doesn't function that way. 5-10 pounds is more realistic, and that would be dependent on how strict he is with his diet/caloric intake and workout plan.
I think this is absolutely correct, but my guy @JHallCanes can help anyone gain 20 pounds in an off season, and really, in about 6-8 weeks.
If I had a dollar for every time someone posted:
Good weight gain is so hard to do that most of us have to add some bad weight along with the good, and then strip away the bad. But doing that naturally beyond 5 pounds per year? Almost impossible except for the genetic freaks.
Scroggins is not 255-260, idc what D Money says
. he’s like 240 max. It took Lightfoot and Pickett 2 offseasons to get to 230. Don’t see a reason for Cole or Lowe, to get 265+. To top it all off nobody u mention has much experience.
