I don't know. He looks about the same from the season. It's hard to tell when they wear baggy jerseys how much is fat to just being thick. His arms do look bigger.
I'm wondering if they are doing strength, adding muscle first, then hitting the cardio hard after. I had a friend do that. We made fun of him because he was getting a little chuncky around the waste because he was eating a ton of fats and proteins. But he was doing heavy lifting and building his arms,legs, and chest. When he came back from school at winter break, he was still big, but cut as well. He said he maintained the work outs he was doing, not adding any more weight, but added cardio 4 times a week, and out of the three lift days two were lower weight high rep, and one heavy weight low rep to keep the size of his body.
I'm hoping this is whats going on. I can't see the training staff letting him get away with this for so long.
In a way I wish he had holes in his game, because then we could call him the Round Mound of Swiss Cheese!
