Casey Cathrall, the strength & conditioning, might be the most important guy on the staff right now. This guy was a fantastic hire by Grant compared to what the S&C guy was doing under Archie. We moved from doing machines to Olympic/compound movements which is what basically the conventional wisdom now from your local gym to the Patriots.
Kostas- He really needs 20lbs of muscle added to his frame. If he gets some strength and combines that with his height & athleticism then he will be bar none the most physically talented big man to ever play at Dayton. Really hope he's on campus working this offseason and not globe trotting
Crutcher- He needs to add strength desperately. Someone had a thread talking about getting to the basket. Crutch is going to be so much better at being able to absorb/handle contact around the basket when he adds strength. Being able to absorb contact is gonna get him to the free throw line more too.
Look at the VCU game. If you watch closely there were many instances of Williams just overpowering him on the offensive and defensive end. Williams is a physical senior point guard and that was bothering Crutch at times
Jordan Davis- He's not scrawny but like Trey Landers as a freshman he could lose some body fat and gain some muscle.
