Josh Forrest has gained 22 pounds

[C1180]

Forrest has the athletic skill to be a real good MLB.IMO last year he was still learning how to play the position and had not developed the LBer mentality. Here is hoping he has developed a little of the Snedagar attitude over the off season to go with his impressive weight gain. You know a bit of a nasty attitude. I thought he was too nice to the opponents at times last year and didn't give the big hit when he could have done so. Heck he was helping opponents up off the ground. What LBer does that LOL. Knock them down and growl at them.

I am not sure however that OLB in 3-4 wouldn't be a better position for him than MLB. I believe he played safety on defense in high school so he is a good pass coverage LB.

I don't think 360 is that bad for somebody that's 6'7 and athletic. Somebody with his build that's going through Korem's S&C program and maintaining that weight has to be ridiculously strong. This isn't the Joker days, and they're not giving these guys the option to hide and slack. It's go hard, or go home. He hasn't went home. Somebody that size can shift +/-10 lbs over the weekend

Lewis says Matt is seriously working. Stoops seems to be reserving judgment. The ceiling is high for Matt, but no one can do the work for him. I am hopeful for some good reports once camp gets started.

I cant believe the staff didnt redshirt TV Williams last year. They need to this year or else his college career is going to be a waste

The underestimation of this kid is hard for me to understand. He has good hands and can be lethal in space. I think he is going to be a pleasant surprise this year for many people. Plus, he is a really smart kid. I suspect he had the playbook down last year and was showing the staff that he was adjusting to their coaching.
