McCamey loses weight, gains leadership
November 5, 2009 6:16 AM
Last winter, Demetri McCamey could be spotted through the windows of fast food joints such as Big Mouth's, McDonald's and KFC. Now, he can only be found exiting Green Street eateries such as Subway and Noodles and Company.
McCamey, who lost nearly 20 pounds during the offseason, said he learned his speed on the court corresponds exactly with what he puts into his body. In recent months, he has substituted pasta and baked chicken for "fried everything." Now weighing in at 197 pounds, the least ever during his time at Illinois, the junior guard said his mind tells him that he just feels quicker.
