Heights and weights update from the Heights and Weights Guy:
The updated roster for the Fall has a couple of interesting listings. I've read several good comments about freshman WR, Tony Stevens, saying he's tall and long and can go up over people and bring down the foosballz. Sounds like troof since he's now listed at 6'4" 190. Can't recall having a 6'4" WR since who....? Lawyer Tillman, maybe?
Freshman safety, Khari Harding, is shown at 6'0 223. He's put on a lot of muscle over the summer and they say if he keeps bulking up, he will probably go to LB. Speaking of LB, in looking at some preseason mags, Bama is shown to be running a 3-4 defense. Their LB's are shown in Athlon as CJ Moseley, the preseason All-American being 6'3" and 232. He's the pup since the remaining 3 go 245, 252 & 265. Kwist on a Kwacka.
However, I was encouraged to see that AU is quickly transforming that position to have much bigger and physical (Jake excluded) guys. The roster shows:
Holland: 240
Frost: 238
McKinzy: 246
Owens: 250
Flowers: 240
Toney: 236
I know the new strength corch (Can't recall his name right now) has guys training at a fast pace, station to station to go along with Malzahn's overall philosophy. But apparently, it's packing some size on a lot of guys, especially the incoming freshmen. I'm seeing anywhere from 10-20 pounds added to the size that these guys were listed at when they signed. That make me moist.
