Interesting:
Senior forward Kentan Facey, who was listed at 217 pounds last season, focused on gaining weight over the summer. He now checks in at about 235. Brimah, UConn's senior center, also has bulked up to 240 pounds.
 
Blades it's a good read but I am sure you wouldn't expect Seth G to say anything less than effusive while playing in Kevin Ollie's golf tournament.

As far as Brimah being up to 240 and Facey up to 235, after the way UConn was really clobbered inside and on the boards by Cincy during regular season and Kansas in the NCAA tourney, this is a much needed positive development.
 
By the way Facey did have his moments last year when he rebounded and defended effectively and blocked some shots, but when they tried to play him at the 5 after Brimah got hurt it was a little bit of a joke. Tulane's inside bangers, who had no offensive talent, fouling Facey out in 9 minutes of action was one of the lowlights of the season. That is plain old getting sand kicked in your face at the beach by low quality bullies.
