Does SMU have a weight room!?*?

Better question is, do our basketball players use it? Other than Nigel, I haven't seen any noticeable improvement in strength in our players the past several years. Watching the Rack at the Global Games last night, albeit limited action, I couldn't help but be disappointed that he doesnt seem to be working in the weight room. With some added strength in his legs and upper body, he would be a much better player.

Believe it or not, Quinton Ross added a lot of strength and muscle (yes, he was even skinnier as a freshman.) And of course, Damon Hancock hit the weights when he was at SMU.
Patrick Simpson seems a lot stronger, too.

I think you are right about Q it was just hard to tell. I always thought Damon was a strong player, kind of like BHop now. Can you update us on Damon now, playing overseas? As for Simpson, I just didnt see much of a difference from freshman to soph year, but there was some. All I know is somebody needs to get the Rack in the weight room.

I thought Simpson looked a lot stronger last ear compared to his freshman year. I hope to see that much improvement again. I hope Castro, Isham and BHop are working hard too. I believe we have motivated athletes but we will be able to tell come September.

I thought Isham was a lot stronger as a sophomore, too. I mean, he's still thin, but when he was a freshman, he looked like he would blow away in a light breeze. I think he's working pretty hard.
Where's Hancock playing?
