what is the deal with these guys. Mateen Cleaves, Kalid El Amin, Sherron Collins. Somehow they are quicker than crap and fat at the same time. I don't get it seriously. How are they fat when you know they are in great shape and play basketball at a high level every day. Just something I had to get off my chest.

More muscle than fat?

These guys all seemed to have a running backs body on the bball floor.

I may have to take another look tonight. I'm guessing Collins is actually pretty low on the body fat %.

"Ph" fat? or of the "husky" variety? :wink:

Also, Mat. Cleeves wasn't fat. A *********, but not fat.

they may carry some extra weight, but they are far from fat... id say really thick, running back, emmit smith types... that little body builder frosh at ou is going to kick butt for 3 more years...

Collins is not fat, he is just stacked. The other two you mentioned were, Cleaves not as much but still pudgy. I think some of it may be deception. You know they are fast but you look at them and you just refuse to acknowledge their speed as a defender. Also, Cleaves bball IQ, I thought was amazing. He is one of the players in college that I genuinely loved to watch play the game.

Tweety Carter and Thomas Mason Griffin have the same build and yes I've been wondering the same thing. Collins, Eaton, Carter and these 2 have eaten our lunch lately.

fat? have you ever seen one of these guys against the general public? Maybe "thicker than the average bball player" ... but they're no Oliver Miller

Rotund guards bring to mind several apt announcer descriptions.

Backside rebounders?
Clearing the space?
Jiggling layup?
Using all the shorts to foul?
Barkley cousins?

Collins comes to camp every fall overweight and has to work it off. When he's done ballin' he's going to be huge.
