Mississippi State hired David Deets as its new basketball strength and conditioning coach last month to replace Richard Akins, who retired after 33 years with the Bulldogs.
Deets is already making an impact, especially with MSU’s big men.
“Fallou (Ndoye) has put on 20 pounds in a month,” Deets said. “A freshman, Aric Holman, has put on 13 pounds since he’s been here and you can go on down the list. Everybody’s probably put on over 10-pounds apiece but have still had their verticals go up and that’s a great sign.
