Not saying he has not made a great improvement. I can remember in my younger more athletic days that I tried to pump myself for pictures also.
Wisconsin news interview with Jackson. Great interview and story how we landed him.
Very fun little video. Thanks for sharing.
Also I'm already laughing about how mad people are gonna be when he goes off against them. My girlfriend saw a pic and said he looks like he's 12 lmao.
Pavaletzke video segment is cool
Now, could we get back to the main thread topic: Jeremiah Williams body-building?

Great post! I’m also seeing a lot of positives in Pav too. If he puts some more muscle on, and is a defensive stopper—look out!
I'm not necessarily holding my breath on the defensive stopper part but that's fine. The style of D ISU has played with TJ is far more about activity, BBall IQ, cohesion, and communication than it is about raw individual ability to lock someone down.
While there's probably an adjustment period for pretty much all the newcomers (Omaha and Gilbert probably excluded given both are known as really good defenders), I think the "want to" is even more of a factor for ISUs defense when it's already half the battle at times even in less team-reliant defensive systems.
Pav’s vidz are really exciting. Not only can pop the 3, but is not shy about taking the ball to the rim, drawing contact/fouls and finding creative ways to score. Don’t know about his ability to defend and he might need to gain a bit of muscle, but really like what I’ve seen in his offensive game.
Slightly off topic, but I am seriously intimidated by TJ’s guns.
Folks look at his forearms. They're twice the size of the first. That's not cause he's flexing.
I really like this guy. Everyone should watch the video clip of him scoring 50 points against the #1 ranked team in Wisconsin. He is not a pure shooter who can also drive to the basket. He is a player who drives to the basket but also is a pure shooter. He is not just a catch and shoot player like JorBo and Fredricks.
The Big 12 is indeed a grind, but at least next year we will go 9 or 10 deep and he won't have to be out there 35 plus minutes like our guards last season had to do (especially after Grill was hurt). We have him, Gilbert and Hamilton to rotate at two spots. Likely Watson too. Plus, Gilbert can play some point, which is especially important if Williamson can't go because of the injury.
Yep. Only 34% of his FG attempts were threes. This past season, Grill was at about 80%. Kalscheur 54%.
Williams wasn't running up and down the floor every day playing basketball for two hours the past few months. He wouldn't have done that if he was playing basketball. Lot easier to add muscle if you are not doing that. Gilbert and Pav will make gains, but not like Williams.
