CCL Tonight
- Thread starter CyHawk7
- Start date
I could be wrong but it looked like Niang came into last season a little lighter than year before and struggled early and by mid season it seemed as though he had put the weight back on and was dominating games. Maybe it's because he was needed so much as our only true post defender that the added weight allowed him to push people around more? Just an observation. But I agree that him losing some weight will be good overall for his game and future.
edit: No I don't have any facts to back up my claim. For some who require facts on this board.

Weight obviously has a big impact on someone, but this is just a terrible analogy unless you plan on literally putting on 12 pounds at once when you gain weight (which doesn't happen). Your body gets used to these things over time because you carry yourself everywhere everyday, and putting on weight is more gradual than putting on a 12 pound jacket within 5 seconds. I'm not saying that putting on weight doesn't have an impact - of course it does, it has a big impact and it's stupid to think otherwise, but the analogy was just bad. Putting on 12 pounds over a month or two is a lot different than putting on a 12 pound jacket in 5 seconds and trying to all of a sudden run and jump with it.
Anyway, as someone like Georges who works out, losing weight is obviously a very good thing as long as he keeps working out and eating right (which he will). I'll expect him to actually be able to jump a little bit now

Didn't go to games but check out the pic of Naz on the DSM RAG. The kid looks jacked this year. His arms & calves look much bigger and defined.
He did look noticeably bigger, which is pretty crazy considering the season ended only 10 weeks ago roughly.
Should help him defensively.
JSB I respect your opinion and your right to express it........ after all, this is our message board.
I just thought that people might be interested in the varied opinions of people who were at the games. I watch Georges a lot. In my opinion he is a step quicker than last year. He doesn't lope or trot. He runs now.
Is he Ejim quick...? no, but he is quicker getting back to defend, and in my opinion it is a noticeable change in his game over last year.
Just my opinion of course..........
GO CYCLONES
Headed tonight for the first two games before sand volleyball. Don't get to see niang, but do get Custer and Nader vs SDW and Hogue and Matt and Monte VS McKay and Cooke... If everyone is there.
