Get those guys their cleats. McKay is wearing Adidas I forgot, but the UA contract runs through the summer of 2023.

It’s Tua Areta. He is a bit of a project. I believe he came in at 385(?). He could barely finish wind sprints. Heard he couldn’t bench 200 when he got here.rollo_tumasi wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:30 pmHow much are those plates or is this really just 315??
According to his bio he’s was named the program’s Young Gun last year. Majors in mechanical engineering.

It is 315 which is fine. Kevin Donovan told me that his all pro brother (I think that is his brother) for the Cowboys only benched 275.rollo_tumasi wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:30 pmHow much are those plates or is this really just 315??

Re: Off season random *^%$
That's good info to have. I was thinking 315 isn't that impressive. While it's certainly not bad, it doesn't seem like something a program ought to make a big deal out of. It's only an impressive lift if you know his background. Without that info, knowing that he is (or used to be) 385, that's an average at best max bench. Nothing to be ashamed of, but nothing for a Division I football program to be celebrating. A little context is definitely helpful.iaafan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:36 pmIt’s Tua Areta.

Everyone should probably keep in mind Tua played against Cal Poly last year and held his own against a stiff running game. Imagine how better he'll be as he continues to develop that upper body strength. Super glad Tua is developing!kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 2:08 pmThat's good info to have.

Amen. I love it for him personally and his physical development and for the Bobcats.

the guy is just a monster... if he can turn some that size into more strength, better conditioning, while learning how to play the position the next couple years... look out. definitely a project... but holy crap does he have major upside.

Re: Off season random *^%$
This is the thing I love most about the culture Choate has developed. These guys love each other. These guys are pulling for each other. These guys want each other to succeed! I believe Tua is the guy who was struggling last year on conditioning drills. Sterk held back and ran with him encouraging him all the way. That is leadership, teamwork and family. What a remarkable turnaround from where we were 6 years ago.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 2:41 pmAmen. I love it for him personally and his physical development and for the Bobcats.

Too bad they never played him. Although they rarely played any receivers beyond Kassis and Jonsen

They actually played quite a few receivers. They rotated a lot. We just didn't throw the ball that much/very well.NorthernPlains wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2020 6:31 pm
