Mahmoud's Weight Goal To Start The Season

[shadow force]

Anas Mahmoud: The 7-foot sophomore is up to 215 pounds after starting school at 187. His goal, as he told us back in April, is a 225-pound frame by the time the season starts. He's made enough progress in other areas that Pitino called Mahmoud's knee surgery "almost a blessing, because we're putting weight on him." Pitino said Mahmoud is walking around fine and was shooting free throws on Tuesday, and that he will be running again in about three weeks and practicing in four weeks.

As far as the weight issue with Mahmoud goes, the same still applies for Mangok Mathiang. The problem with both guys is they have "slim rear ends," Pitino said, before cracking a joke. "We're looking into calling the Kardashian family to find out more information about rear end implants."

I hope that both of ( Mahmoud and Mathiang )them are in the weigh room getting stronger while putting on that weigh !!

Right. I'm sure Ganong has both guys doing more than just putting on fat weight, and has them lifting and getting stronger as well.
