Martin Van Nostrand Walk-on

No such thing as a natural 450. 450 means a lack of discipline.

I was joking a bit

450 has a whole lot more to it than a lack of discipline, there is nothing 90%

Yep. They ought to greyshirt him in year one to get his weight under control

Honestly he doesn't look overweight. We played basketball a few weeks ago and

BYUfan92

The previous coaches wanted him to come back in the 375 range

donnerstag

1/23/17 9:40pm

That's not true. The previous coaching staff said they'd like him

TheDeek

1/23/17 10:02pm

The coaches told him to watch his weight in mission field

You're your own source? Good to know

Thanks for posting your insights.

So it goes...

1/23/17 10:21pm

Honestly, might need to pull his scholly if he doesn't immediately show some

thebruce

1/23/17 8:37pm

Yeah to better serve us fans and this storied program he never should have gone

Icecat

Coaches told him to show them he was serious by taking care of himself.

thebruce

1/23/17 10:55pm

That's true. It's also hard to give oneself 100% to the work and also focus on

Icecat

On a mission you get 30 minutes in the morning for exercise.

thebruce

1/24/17 7:24am

I don't disagree with any of that. Three points I'll make though:

Icecat

1/24/17 7:57am

In terms of work ethic he should be held to a high standard.

thebruce

1/24/17 8:31am

Last report I heard he was back down to 420.

Cougarclaw

TNT really doesn't get CB's obsession with him. He's a project

TNT

1/23/17 8:11pm

I'm pretty sure its his size.

Polecat

1/23/17 8:16pm

Not even. He's the project that the diy guy gives up on and sells for peanuts

Backcountry

1/23/17 8:17pm

At least now we have coaches who are willing to start DIYs

Kid will never play a down. Too freaking huge

Backcountry

1/23/17 8:15pm

He could come in handy on short-yardage plays, a la

Ulysses14

1/23/17 8:46pm

Yes!!! If we played him at FB, we'd get as much press as the 4th & 19 fake punt!

I'll take that bet.

Would love to be wrong.

Backcountry

I'd rather play a big 1 game than 5 walkons for 12 games

That poor couch.

Bubba Gravity

Also poor coach who has to try to get him in shape
