Wondering if any of you have noticed this. He may not have put on weight but looks more toned and thicker in the legs and a little in the arms as well. I think he has looked more powerful, physically the first two games.

Basabe looks like he is growing into his body. Woodbury impresses me for being a true freshman. I expected a guy that needed a lot of work being over seven foot and in his first year of college. You can tell he hasn't just started to lift weights.
 




This thread actually has a lot of merit....if one extends it to Woodbury...

He's obviously not very strong at all, i.e. sans much, if any, weight lifting activity.

For those of you who have lifted or lift now, you know you can pack on some serious muscle in 90 days. You can transform your body in 180.

Guess I don't get why he wouldn't have stormed the weight room between the end of high school BB season and now?

He's going to get all kinds of pushed around this year. Would have been nice to have seen him 25+ pounds and a lot stronger, since he's obviously going to see a lot of minutes as a TF.

How do you know he hasn't? He looks a little bit thicker to me than compared to last year. Oh, and I am heterosexual btw.

Not as simple as just "storming the weight room." Like many 18yr old bb players, he's got a really lean body. Very difficult to gain muscle and bulk.

LOL. I've seen pictures of him lifting in the hawkeye weight room this summer. I'm pretty sure he's been lifting a lot.

Young 7 ft tall guys take some time. He'll be fine. He won't go from skinny HS 7 footer to brutally strong in 3 months. You can do a lot in 3 months, but his progress will be measured in years, I think.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's ok if he plays thicker but if he starts to play denser then I'll be concerned. :)
