Nico Carvacho's redshirt appears to have done him wonders.
While sitting out the 2015-16 season, the Colorado State big man added 40 pounds on his 6-foot-10 frame, bulking up to 254. The season is still four months away, but Carvacho's hard work is already paying off.
Carvacho, who's father Eddie is from Chile and played professional soccer in the U.S., just wrapped up a breakout performance for the Chilean men's national team during this week's FIBA South American Championships.
The 19-year-old freshman more than held his own against some seasoned competition the past five days in Caracas, Venezuela.
