Yesterday at the Nashville Sports Festival CDT touched on our lack of strength, compared to his USM team, in response to a fan's question asking what concerns him the most going into next year. On Friday they did strength, vertical, agility tests and measurements with everyone who's on campus and he said 185lb. bench press is the standard they used because that's what the NBA uses at the combine. Last years USM team averaged 13 reps of 185 while we averaged 6 on Friday. He singled out JRich for only being able to do 4. He was astonished at how "weak" the returning players were and without saying as much it was clear that he wondered what the hell the strength program had consisted of in the previous years. He also noted that Owens measured in at 6'10, 185 and laughed at everyone's reaction. Then followed it up with "but he can jump through the ceiling."
Despite his affection for lankier guys that can get up and down the court it's apparent we need to add more strength and size if we're to be successful in his system and this league.
