Reminds me of when Ronnie Seikaly came to SU in his Sophmore year. Patrick Ewing used to push him around like a child.
He would foul out of every game. He couldn’t sink a free throw to save his life.
By his Senior year he was scoring 25+ points a game and had added close to 50 pounds. About half his points were Free throws. He used to practice for hours in the Dome when I worked there. Just shooting free throws. The SU coaches made the kid from Lebanon into a Proffesional Basketball Player.
Probably the same thing will happen to Victor Wembanyama in his first year. But I think they make too much money now so they're not really that hungry anymore. Like Crash Davis would say in the movie "Bull Durham" it's all about making it to the Show and everything else will take care of itself.
I watched a video about an actor (I think) on how he gained weight. He kept three donuts by his bedside and set his alarm for 2:00 a.m. and eat the donuts and go back to sleep. I’d have used a jar of peanut butter and a large spoon.
