Way back when, Charles White, USC tailback, was reported to be 2% body fat, I have no idea if the tests are more accurate now, but that always blew my mind, even as a youth. Pun not intended, as he developed a cocaine habit as a pro.

I remember that, and I remember it being mentioned during a game and the announcer commenting that he (White) would have a tough time staying afloat in water. It elicited a racial joke by non other than OJ Simpson, who was announcing the game as well.

I thrive indoors with beer at a 25% body fat rate but other may need that to be higher :D

I think Kipper is going to be a stud this coming year, he will make those small plays that may not be seen on a stat sheet but will make the difference in the game.

I would love for Kipper to be a Sergio M./Lucas J. Maybe not as much Lucas, he might drive an opposing coach into an apoplectic rage. #LuteOlson

"I think Kipper is going to be a stud this coming year, he will make those small plays that may not be seen on a stat sheet but will make the difference in the game."

I agree, he may or may not be a stat stuffer but I believe we will see him make plays that we say to ourselves "I haven't seen that out of an Illni player in years" or "We haven't had that type of player". I still hope that at minimum he is a mismatch for other teams similiar to Sheldon Shield of Nebraska or the SF from Wisconsin. Going to be fun seeing him paired (hopefully) with Hill or DJW. What will a line-up of JCL (PG), Hill(SG), Kipper (WF), DJW (WF/PF) and Finke (PF/C) look like?

Has the men's Basketball banquet been held??

Good catch. You want to see who wasn't there to see who won't be back next year, of those who are still on scholarship.

I have no idea if it's been held yet.

Can our three current players dealing with legal issues attend the banquet? I assume that's up to Groce but given their situations it may not mean anything regarding then if they aren't there.

Considering they are all suspended I would guess they wouldn't be able to attend.

I would just like someone, ANYONE, to dunk the ball in traffic. I want a replay of Kendall doing the statue of liberty dunk on the cover of SI. I want Brian Randle hanging on the rim staring down at some fool who didn't get out the way. I want Bryant Notree exploding down the late and tomahawking one in. It feels like we haven't seen that in YEARS!

Brandon Paul did this a few times, remember when he dunked on Trevor Mbakwe?

Was at that game, probably the loudest I've heard that place in five years (yup, missed the IU upset). Won't forget that basket anytime soon. Don't think Mbakwe will either.

10 min mark of this clip I always remember Brandon's dunk...

He was called for an offensive foul on that play. No basket.
