Skal's growing some guns...

Skal looks more muscular than he is because his body fat is extremely low. He has definition but very little muscle mass. His shoulders, hips and thighs are narrow so he does not occupy much space inside and his base is weak so he gets pushed around.
Davis, Towns and Cauley-Stein were all way wider and thicker than Skal, not even close.

I would take Wiljter over Skal and his guns in a heartbeat.
Not me....3's we got covered. Skal's at least a chance down low... Wilt... is a sure thing to not be anything in the paint...
Wiljter had 35 & 10 last week in a game. Skal has not got that in a month.
Yep... wish he would have done that when NN went down. Wonder why he didn't? Any insight?
he already had muscular defined arms before arriving on campus, there was even a thread dedicated to it last april

It didn't miss by much once NN went down but revision is easy. I'm a Wiltjer fan too but you are working hard to place blame. That's what I'd do too if I could. I'd hope or wish for something I know I can never have. Wiltcher chose to leave... his choice. He won a championship here, chose to leave and you wish he was back here now. He's always a Cat but he dumped UK. You have to live with tgat and also live in the present...
I don't wish he was back here I just said I would take him over Skal. He is putting up good numbers.
Well that was depressinghe already had muscular defined arms before arriving on campus, there was even a thread dedicated to it last April

Skal needs lower body strength to get and hold low post position as well as to push opposing players out of the lane when he's on defense. This should be much less of an issue by next year if he commits to training in the off-season. And, he better commit to this or he will likely see limited minutes next year with the class coming in.
Skal has gone from a 2/10 to a 3/10. I know some people are going to laugh at just how far off he still is, but I'm excited that fact that he's starting to get it, even if it is ever so slowly. If Skal can get to a 6 or 7 by the tournament, we might be alright.
Confidence can cure everything. It's not gonna happen overnight. But when he starts realizing he *deserves* to be in this league (something I bet he was skeptical about), he'll become more involved, try harder, not sulk.. etc etc etc.
I could be wrong. He could very well be another Poythress who just sleep walks through his college career. But it's a step in the right direction.
