Any updates on Tee Bartlett? Also, is he redshirting for this season?
Last I heard is that he arrived late and conditioning issues.
He is redshirting and needed to lose weight and get better conditioned, but I think the staff is high on him...lord knows we need help in the middle
He came in about 65 lbs overweight and completely out of shape. Our staff was extremely pissed at him. I imagine if he wasn't a highly rated kid we would've sent him packing.
He has worked his but off and is probably only 20-25 lbs overweight now. He's still not anywhere close to game shape.
I have been wondering about him as well because if I recall he was our highest rated high school recruit from this class. I had heard about the conditioning issues but 65 pounds overweight? That is pretty crazy that happened so quickly after being recruited.
It's like he got married.Quote:

Like others have said, he had to walk through warm ups early in the year and now he's kind of jogging. He was in terrible shape. Like I said, WAY overweight and couldn't make it down the court more than twice. Like it was BAD. This is why it was so detrimental that he was in LA all summer because of clearinghouse issues. He wasn't under our watch and he wasn't working out.Quote:

State at around 300 pounds and not near the best of conditioing.. Whereas Mario Austin played at around 260 and was in good physical condition for that weight.
The best shape Renardo was ever in was the offseason between his sophomore and Junior year to about December of his Junior Year. He was all the way down to 265-270, was moving around great, and was a great option for us. We had a game against Baylor that year, I think it was the last or second to last game before SEC play, and we lost by 2. He was never the same after that game. His weight ballooned, his conditioning was shot, and the Renardo issues we had to deal with the previous two years started to surface.Quote:

is a pretty decent core to build around if you keep everybody.
Sidney using coke as a weight loss plan wasnt quiet as effective.Quote:

To not make the tournament in 2011-2012 with all that talent we had (Bost, Hood, Moultrie, Sidney) still pisses me off. We got up to as high as 15 in the country and should've been no worse than a 5 seed. Stans completely lost that team.Quote:

Bartlett shows some good quickness, footwork for a big man. Get this guy into shape and keep working with him on his game.
