I wouldn't write him off just yet. There's a good 6 solid months for him (and Savion too for that matter) to shave off extra pounds and improve conditioning. I wish there was more corroberating information to go along with his weight of 372 lbs. Most people trying to get stronger have a caloric surplus to add lean mass. It's not inconceivable the target intake was a little more than necessary. I would like to know if he has, indeed, gotten significantly stronger. What are his primary lift numbers, for instance, vs last season?
On another note, I'm curious how soon Alex January becomes a contributor. While I don't expect a true frosh to come in and light it up, I won't be surprised if he makes it into the rotation this season either.
Pic of Mitchell first day of Spring Practice. Doesn't exactly look like a tub of lard to me, but it's also true that large frames can hide or carry a fair amount of extra weight without showing as much. His midriff is a little puffy.
