If Big Z is out in there in November with a weird hitch in his jumper, I will put my tinfoil hat on*
 Previous Message Previous Message Which is why I’ve raised questions about it in the past, assuming that we’re kind of unique in prioritizing the body-building this way and wondering if there’s any tangible proof that it actually makes people better basketball players. But it clearly seems to be well-respected in the industry so it does make you wonder why others aren’t doing it. Like I can’t imagine both Kentucky and Arkansas didn’t think it would be beneficial for Big Z to add some bulk. Previous Message Food science and physical development/training are not exactly top secret fields. Surely other schools/programs have access to the same kinds of resources and data Fletch uses. Or is there just something unique to Fletch that gets guys to buy into the process? Previous Message this is a pretty meaningful endorsement from maybe the most plugged in NBA draft guy out there. @Sam_Vecenie Truly can’t emphasize enough: talk to NBA/CBB folks around the country about who have the best strength staffs in college hoops, Illinois and Fletcher’s name will be if not the first to come up, certainly within the top-3. But I’d say they’re the name I get most. https://x.com/sam_vecenie/status/1953617743573549485?s=61&t=obkYTPkbGlNfrGoozxL-mg

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”
