About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
I'm not quite sure what's so interesting about the numbers. What do they mean? So what if the Team Fat Mass Lost: -111.2 lb? Is that good? Bad? Average? What would be even more interesting, Brian, is if you could give some perspective as to what these numbers mean in relationship to other teams, or the "industry" average. Otherwise it doesn't mean a whole lot. Oh yeah, I forgot, you just report the facts...
so, on average, each player lost 1.5 pounds of fat and gained a little over 3 pounds of muscle? that doesnt seem ALL that great.
"the numbers are courtesy UCLA"
I don't see why Brian needs to spell out every post with perspective. this is a for it's worth type post, and I think most informed UCLA football fans can draw their own conclusions. I'd rather have something than nothing.
if you want some perspective, here's some:
A new head trainer, or in this case, second-time around, means a change in philosophy. Brian's already reported on emphasis on stretching along with quotes from players on accountability in weight room.
what does this mean longterm? -- hopefully putting this information out there will inspire the players to break the previous class' record, and therefore get better as a team and as individuals.
what does this mean shortterm? -- again, hopefully better athletes, but we won't really know until the games are played.
I don't see the numbers for the combined time it took the team to ditch practice. Are those available anywhere??
Brian, what are the team's #s by position group?
for example, what is the body fat % for the OL...or the LBs...or the WRs?
What is the average back squat for each unit?
And how does UCLA's #s compare to the other P10 schools?
do they have 40 yd dash times on the players?? Who is the faster player on the team?
An average increase of 90 pounds in 3 months for the squat? Not bad at all... Of course, a 90 pound gain for me is VERY different than it is for them, but impressive nonetheless.
