Players' Physiques

[ShockerPhi]

I think a thread title like this belongs in the Volleyball section. I would definitely read that thread. I would also enjoy pictures if they were posted too...

Shoot, I passed physiques 'cause I studied them real hard....it was the kemistry I seemed to have more trouble with!

Pretty good, KW. Good thing they didn't teach spelling at your school -- you'd have done worse than you did in physiques.

I noticed our players are not as "swole" as years past. I wonder if this is by design to be prepared for a quicker , less physical game under the new rules?

Imo tekele is much more svelte this year. Still a beast though.

I can't believe I clicked on this thread title.

I can't believe I saw the words "swole" and "svelte" in the same thread.

You can't say them boys ain't edumacated.

Connor Frankamp isn't very swole, but big things come in small packages. The size of his package (skill set if you will) isn't probably as comprehensive as Tekele or Ron's but I think he is probably still very effective. Tekele and Ron have a very well rounded, strong and experienced skill sets so it's unrealistic to expect Frankamp to take any of their action.

What? Swole packages?

Creepy thread is creepy

Conner simply doesn't have the basic frame to expect him to be as swole as Ron or Tekele down the line regardless of the time or effort he puts in the weight room. Heck even Fred, who is the same height as Conor outweighs him by 30 pounds. Again a different basic body type.

Conner will get stronger during his career. That's pretty much just part of the maturing process from most athletes.

A small frame did not scare 3G away from Ria'n Holland so I would not expect that, in and of itself, would scare 3G away from Conner.

The issues surrounding whether or not 3G wants Conner probably have less to do with Conner and more to do with our current roster of Shocker scholarship players and those expected to sign with the Shocks in a week or so and how 3G feels about their abilities and potential, etc.

highly entertaining read

Who are the best basketball players with the least imposing physiques?

Larry Bird
Charles Barkley
John Stockton
Muggsy Bogues
Pistol Pete Maravich
Steve Nash
Manute Bol (granted he was 7-7 but not sure he could be any skinnier)
Bobby Hurley
Jake Odum

Other sports? In baseball Pedro Sandoval get's my vote but he may be the best bad ball hitter ever and plays a pretty mean 3rd base. The Panda indeed.

Ria'n can jump over the moon and is the smallest guy on the team who thinks he is the biggest dog in the pound (per HCGM). AND by all accounts is a prolfic shooter as well...

This is not meant to dis Ria'n but I'm anxious to see this prolific shooting maybe this Saturday. I've seen him several times(small sample size) and I've not seen it.
