hhcmatt Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Turns out there was something physically up with him. He's been living in the weight room. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/mens-basketball/article_c562f5aa-c741-5352-afc2-ed27f00ea56a.html#.Vpe21I6U0QA.twitter Quote
hhcmatt Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 Gotta love the intensity. It's possible you might not want to swap him for a player on Samford's team next year. Quote
hhcmatt Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 In addition to staying out of the weight room as much as he was — Morrow can use the offseason to truly bulk up — he’s also continuing to recover from summertime surgery on his left foot. In fact, Morrow had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for Wednesday for acupuncture to help alleviate his plantar fasciitis. Quote

Huskerone Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 So Morrow was overworking in the weight room? Don't we have a strength coach for basketball that has these kids on individual programs? Wouldn't the strength coach know Morrow is lifting to his development detriment? Shouldn't in season lifting be different than off season? I guess this makes me a bit curious on how our basketball strength program works and if there could be some process improvements implemented.

FredsSlacks Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 the combination of injuries and gaining about 20 pounds in 4 months probably didn't help his explosiveness. he is looking a lot better recently. hopefully he continues to improve. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Ed might be that kid that was down T the rec center getting in extra reps where nobody could see him. Quote

Most "experts" now agree that you can be just as aggressive lifting in season as out, but over lifting is never OK. People used to say, "Don't lift it will throw off your shot." That's crazy talk now. I wish someone would have made me lift period. By the time I started I missed that two week window of my top athletic prowess. I don't see how Morrow could get out of a big league high school program these days without seeing the inside of the weight room. Quote

Don't know if this is actually true as I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't believe in working out. Quote

hhcmatt Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 Looks like Ed Morrow believes in lifting weights Quote
49r Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Looks like Ed Morrow believes in lifting weights He's gonna be one swole dude by the time he ends his career at NU. Quote
basketballjones Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 As with most things with kids, they don't see the benefits of something until it directly benefits them. That first time Ed takes a shoulder to the chest and he doesn't go anywhere, and the offensive player loses possession, he's gonna go, "oh, so that's why being stronger and more dense helps in basketball." Nothing improved my rebounding, defending, finishing through contact, and ability to get open like lifting weights and getting stronger. YMCA leagues have lived in terror since my awakening hhcmatt 1 Quote

YMCA leagues have lived in terror since my awakening I hear ya. Nothing improved my rebounding, defending, finishing through contact, and ability to get open like being younger, skinnier and in better shape. I recommend that to all the 40-something, overweight guys who ask me how to improve their basketball performance. I tell them they really ought to lose like 20 years. Red Rum 1 Quote
