    Illinois is doing this already. We just need to upset the apple cart for long enough to have brand power like Duke, UConn, Michigan.

    Saying the goal is to value an entire season is open to interpretation. I value high ceiling, development, exposure, and end game success (Elite 8+) over easy early wins and consistent but ultimately capped veterans taking down a conference championship and losing in the round of 32.

    An abnormally skinny 18yo (at the time) 5'10" who played full court basketball 3-4 hrs per day. Without professional trainers and training table. There is absolutely nothing controversial or even particularly difficult about what I said.

    15lbs of muscle is not a big ask at all. Honestly it should be the minimum given Z's aspirations and resources being thrown his way. Speaking from personal experience on the lean weight gain.
