Probably depends on the strength coach and what they're trying to do

Basketball strength development isn't simply about putting weight on, and in many cases that can be a bad thing But the strength plan for David N'Guessan is going to be different than one for John Ojiako. So do I think they have some record of their weights somewhere? Sure. Does an accurate weight number matter enough to track down the strength coach to get it right? Probably not For instance, according to Hokiesports.com John Ojiako gained 5 pounds from the time he came in as a freshman to when he left as a junior. Hunter Cattoor LOST 5 pounds. Neither of those things actually happened. Their weights (and to a lesser extent their height) are just a guess and I'm not sure I've ever seen an accurate listing

Somebody needs to leave right?
hokietom87 • 04/23/23 02:58 PM ET
No , when Basile left we had one open spot**

Beran fills that spot ... Assuming**
hokietom87 • 04/23/23 03:24 PM ET
With Beran we’d have a huge amount of lineup diversity
soflahokie • 04/23/23 12:23 PM ET
They're equally as tall as last years lineup**

Not saying a whole lot**

You'd prefer we go back to the days of 6'6 centers?**
GCHokie34 • 04/24/23 12:22 PM ET
I would be happy with a 6'7 center as long as it's Omier**

Being small not only length, but also weight wise. Long is 200 lbs vs.

There's not a less accurate stat than weight in basketball**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 01:32 PM ET
You mean they lie about their weight?**
SHPHOKIE • 04/23/23 07:39 PM ET
Who is "they"?
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 08:06 PM ET
Now that's a very educational post. Thanks.**

Do Strength Coaches weigh them?**
Femoyer Hokie • 04/23/23 09:07 PM ET
Probably depends on the strength coach and what they're trying to do ◄
GCHokie34 • 04/24/23 10:48 AM ET
Well, someone assigns them weights because the player
RJHokie • 04/23/23 08:23 PM ET
And they're almost never correct**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 08:25 PM ET
Interesting info. **
RJHokie • 04/23/23 08:30 PM ET
Obviously, "they" is whomever is declaring the weights.**
SHPHOKIE • 04/23/23 08:18 PM ET
Then I wouldn't say they are so much "lying" as "guessing"**
GCHokie34 • 04/23/23 08:25 PM ET
Yep, some HOF players are proof of that**
tallahasseehokie • 04/23/23 01:54 PM ET
Kidd will play the 5 over Beran, imho.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/23/23 11:59 AM ET
Zero chance. Beran is a much better 5 (or 4) than Kidd at this point.
Zanderhokie • 04/23/23 09:39 PM ET
I disagree with your opinion. 100% Kidd will start. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:30 PM ET
Looks like it's a moot argument now. Beran rumored to be heading to Miami**
Zanderhokie • 04/24/23 02:20 PM ET
I think that Kidd's playing time will be based on his defensive progress
win-tech • 04/23/23 01:07 PM ET
Kidd wouldn’t get significant minutes for me unless he learns how to
Femoyer Hokie • 04/23/23 12:18 PM ET
Do you have a team Kidd may play for?**
st_andrew • 04/23/23 08:22 PM ET
Would you have kept Wilt Chamberlain on the bench? (Not that Kidd is
HokieEngineer • 04/23/23 04:42 PM ET
His form isn't fluid, but Kidd 59%, Mutts 61% from the foul line
1980VT • 04/23/23 03:48 PM ET
Kidd's FG% is 66% and Beran's is 42%
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/23/23 06:03 PM ET
Apples and oranges and also, defense matters**
vtbball80 • 04/23/23 10:38 PM ET
Huh??? They're both a 5 and they both play in Power 5 conferences.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:27 PM ET
Just sayin' it's not that simple.....
vtbball80 • 04/24/23 03:28 PM ET
Please. Stop. Using. FG. Percentage.
st_andrew • 04/23/23 08:49 PM ET
I. will. not. thank. you. It's. a. valid. metric. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:25 PM ET
True, but he led the team. It tells me he helped the team.
1980VT • 04/23/23 09:05 PM ET
nope, Kidd didn't shoot 3's and isn't a threat from there.
1980VT • 04/23/23 06:27 PM ET
Yep! His overall FG% is 66%, not his 3 Point shooting.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/24/23 12:23 PM ET
I hope he significantly improves his defense during offseason and be able
