Add it to the insanely long list of things to fix around the program.

I have followed him on twitter for like a decade and, I have't seen any other strength guys make those allegations against him.

Yes all the teams lift weights, etc but I think he just really has it down regarding what they do, eat, supplements etc regarding what is best for that sport. All strictly adhered to

Of course you can never be sure if something illegal is being done but I would think someone would have been caught by now

or maybe Houston just recruits strong guys.

S&C, while important, is drastically overemphasized on this board.

Exactly.

Houston recruits tough, athletic players. But what makes them great is toughness and effort is DEMANDED by Sampson. It’s the core identity of the program.

I have absolutely no idea what LSU’s identity is. I’m not sure McMahon does either. He’s just hoping to find one along the way. Right now LSU’s only identity is losing

You are soooooo wrong.

I’m an average white boy who played high school basketball. I added 20 pounds of muscle in my first two years of college, just by eating more, working out, college meal plan, and not doing what is essential 3 hours of cardio a day.

That's part of the deal though. His guys are still doing all that cardio and still turning into monsters

I am sure he is a good strength coordinator, but Sampson demands toughness and playing physical especially on defense.

Quanta White is a better coach than the person allegedly in control of LSU Basketball.

When Kelvin Sampson took over at Houston he told his strength and conditioning guy to go visit Alabama and LSU and see what they do… for football.
