Dji entering the portal

Such a simple concept dude. Had 20 happened the guys that got us in in 22 would not have been there.especially the guy that went off in the tournament after a truly mediocre regular season. But hey, your rose tinted glasses look great on you.
everyone had a full season in '20. we were good enough to get in.
everyone got the extra year. we were good enough again in '22 to get in.

you should think about changing your name to SpiderAlwaysComplaining.
 
sometimes you sound like one of those "all that matters is March" guys. that's fine if you are but to me that's for more of a casual fan who shows up at the end of the year for water cooler glory. you and me and everyone else here think about this stuff 12 months a year. the ride matters.
Sure the ride matters, but when the ride crashes at the end, that matters too.

It is important and fun to enjoy the journey, but when the train crashes before you arrive, it kinda sucks. Ultimately, the goal is to reach the destination, not just circle the countryside.
 
I am calling out sdad with some trick photography or a crash diet between last season and heading to LSU. I have no doubt he gained some muscle at LSU, but I saw him play up close twice this season and he much more resembled the guy on the right. If u recall he came back much bigger this last season.

I mean, he's wearing LSU basketball shorts in both photos. And I don't remember him wearing his hair that way until recently.

But who knows what AI tools can do these days... 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
lol guys it’s not AI or altered…photo on the left is a little misleading but the photo came from S&C coach and he posted on his Instagram. Dji has been at LSU since May 23rd right after graduation. He says his S&C routine is different than it was at UR. More weight and different type of sets and the nutrition center is crazy.
 
All in good fun :). If you would have told me the photo on the left was from his sophomore year at RIchmond, would have believed it more. But when he came back for his senior year he had noticeable bulk and muscle. Will be watching and cheering for Dji this season, and enjoy the football season too!
Yes sir😃…he did add weight his Sr yr but has added more. He wants to get to about 205. But is kinda stuck at 198ish. He will be home Sat for 2 weeks and 1st time since May other than a few days when my mom passed. Now I got to feed him😂
 
all I can think is that Dji did have wrist problems for a part of his career here which would limit some lifting.
but someone should send dad's pic to DeMayo and ask for his thoughts.
 
Dji looks great. it's disappointing that his body changed that much in a summer at LSU compared to 4 years here. questions need to be answered.

I have no doubt LSU does things differently than us and Dji is noticeably stronger, but I still find those b4 and after shots a little funny. hey stand relaxed in the b4, and then flex in the after.
 
looks like more than flexing to me.
that's a high school sophomore DIII prospect vs a college senior DI high major. in 3 months.
that's a program that believes in legal supplements like creatine vs a program that probably doesn't.

Definitely flexing in the second picture and pic was probably taking right after a work out. Everyone looks more cut right after they work out and when they flex. I'm sure though he has been hitting the weights hard though at LSU. Also sure he looked pretty cut at similar points at UR though.
 
agreed. looks strong here.

I don't know, Sman. Would we have wanted him looking like that last year? I say no. There's a reason why not all guards look like that. He looks more like an old school power forward type now. Maybe LSU wants him being a different player than we had him playing?

And, I don't think we need to have any questions answered. I think I remember SDad posting some Dji photos and talking about him hitting the weights here as well. Like 23 said, his body looked different this past year, and he had a great year for us, so I don't see why we would wanted or needed more upper body bulk from him.
 
That is from 2020, so who knows when the comparison pic came from. No doubt LSU got him bigger, but that other pic of a skinny Dji??? Cmon.
 
anything positive posted about Dji you can count on VT showing up to rain on the parade, every time.
You know it man, always. The pic came from his S&C coach that he posted yesterday on Instagram and wait for it…both were taken by Coach Chatman at LSU😱…but maybe the pickle ball expert should stick to pickle ball 🤣
 
LOL....When 23 says it, all good. When VT agrees with 23..."typical VT crapping on Dji". Funny that I can say "he had a great year for us" and get called out for it. And, of course, if SDad says something it must be true. LOL. Is he running with the ones down there?
 
I'm old enough to remember people thinking you shouldn't lift as it would throw off your shot!
shooters adjust. you need to be strong. good luck to Dji this season.
You don’t have to be that old to remember that, there were a poster or two using this argument for our shooting issues in the past few years. Maybe 10 years ago actually. Maybe you do need to be a bit old, haha
