Barkley was over 300 coming out of college. He was invited to try out for the USA basketball team, and many have said that he was the best player there, better than Jordan even. Bob Knight kicked him because of weight and personlity issues. Now, admittedly Mo is no Barkley, but if someone 6'4" can play at 300+ maybe Mo can too. In fact the description some muscle but a lot of ass seems very Barkleyesque. Maybe he can learn to back that ass up and get a post game going, or use his wide load to box out and put up rebounding numbers that are acceptable for a Glen Robinson type small forward.
Broccli was NOT I repeat NOT 300lbs coming out of college. The dude was maybe 230lb-240lb at the most. He was didn't hit 300lbs until he retired.
You are giving Cato way too much credit. If he cared as much one might think, he would get his arse into the gym.
Until I see Mo-Taylor's face on the front of a wheaties box I expect a roleplayer on this team be productive. It was bad enough with his ridiculous injury before the season but this? The pot thing isn't something I would dwell on but with that said it still isn't encouraging to hear. But the weight problem now just really gets me. Every player on this team has the responsibility to show up every game. Each player on this team has the responsibility to protect the organization's assets being themselves. When you hear about players not able to make one game of the season because they injured themselves after playing a pickup game of bball on the playground it really makes you wonder. Talk about adding insult to injury. Am I wrong to be concerned? I think not but thats my two cents on the matter.
That report about Mo Taylor is bogus!! I saw him this past Friday at the Walgreens in Katy with his little brother. I talked to him for about five minutes about the up coming season and his rehab status and have you know that he is fully healed and is in shape. About 250 to 260 ish. People should stop believing everything they read because he will in our starting line up next season getting ready to have a great year.
Eddie is taller than TMo, if someone slouches when they stand they look shorter, so settle down Mo is more than an inch taller than KT so settle down Mo will be in shape by the time he needs to so settle down Talk about overreaction to anything and everything
sjackson0 isnt entirely incorrect. I'm friends with Mo's younger brother and while Mo is overweight, he is not 70 pounds over. Right now, according to his brother and to my estimates from seeing him (I have to admit, he did look huge), he is around 300 pounds. His bro said that the Rox only want him around 265. Hopefully he can reach that goal with a heavy diet and be ready to play this season.
Now I'm starting to get a sense of the whole issue. Mo was 300, and now he's probably around 290. He's going down, and will reach a playing weight of 270 till training camp, and shed another 10 pounds as the season progresses. That's how it looks.
