C Kaleb "Bully" Wesson ('18 All B1G Freshman, '19 Honorable Mention All B1G, '20 2nd Team All B1G)

[OSU_Buckguy]

I saw a video a couple days ago of Wesson going up against Ward last season and it was not a pretty sight. Ward was pushing around Wesson at will and Ward has probably only gotten stronger during his year as a Sparty. Hopefully, Wesson and the coaching staff will heed your advice.

yeah, what i found disconcerting about that video is the disparity in bounciness (not to mention muscle development, of course). i watched nick ward play some aau games a few years ago. unlike wesson, he recognized the importance of turning around his body. kaleb? not yet. at least not enough. when i saw ward as a sophomore or so, he was chunky but he was not flabby. although wesson has lost some weight, he is still flabby. unfortunately, richardson's track record is producing skinny-fat players.

I coached against Nick Ward in AAU in a couple of tournaments. I liked his game then and nothing has changed.

I like Wesson as a solid producer, but I was a little surprised at the 21-11 averages his senior season. I was expecting a little more assertion, a la Goodwin's 30 ppg. And that includes the 47 against Upper Arlington. So he really averaged just under 20 a game for the most part. A solid role-player at first, but probably not a Sully, eh?

My thoughts exactly. I hope he turns out to be a stud, but I don't see Sully by any stretch.

Wesson was just bumped up to No. 69 in Espn Final Top 100, sorry I can't get the link at work and saw it in a series of tweets from OSU bball insider. Derek Culver dropped out of the top 100, fwiw.

I am always afraid to open individual player''s thread because of, well you know

Wow, looks like Kaleb has thinned down considerably.

 

[NFBuck]

Looks like a totally different person.

He's lost considerable weight each season since he chose basketball over football, which shows you the kid has work ethic and you can expect him to be better every season you see him.
