I'm not an expert on weight or body fat. Don't know what IB's weight is, nor his body fat. Don't really care. If he is at 320 lbs. and 6'9" he's not far from being in fairly decent shape. I was 6'5" and 290 lbs. 1 year ago. Now I'm at 240 lbs. If I were at 290 lbs a year ago but 6'9" I would have considered myself in decent shape. Give Iran a break. He'll get there. And, by the way, I just broke my foot, too.
He told me at practice yesterday he was at 322. That is about 3 weeks at that level.
Of course if they would have weighed him at the practice yesterday, hoe would have been a bit heavier being that he is wearing a boot.
He said he can start putting weight on it in 2 weeks and should be on his own in 6 weeks.
Anyone who is continuing to use this thread to take personal shots at one of our Marshall student athletes is imo callous, mean spirited and short sighted. These same “fans” will be heaping praise on IB should he get back on the court and play up to his potential. C’mon guys - we are better than this!

I think everyone wishes him the best and hopes he can be a contributor but at 330+ and injury prone he’s not helping the team. We’ve heard for almost 2 years about his potential at some point he’s going to have to contribute. It’s not callous it’s truth
Again, look at who recruited (I guess looked at him) and passed but to his credit DD gave him an opportunity. It is up to IB to get into the shape we need him in to play DDs style. That then begs the question why get someone who cannot help the team?
Injuries can happen to any player and we have had many. The weight situation is another issue that IB has to deal with. In short IMO he’s a great young guy who has potential but seemingly lacks the motivation to get himself ready to play at Marshall.

Wow! After getting proper instruction from a physician about how to lose weight, Iran loses 58 lbs., in less than 8 months, and, according you, "seemingly lacks the motivation to get himself ready to play at Marshall." Not sure what he needs to do to impress you. I and many other fans are impressed!
I talked to him and the medical staff yesterday. He will be working out in the pool until he can out weight on the foot.
He will use a floating body board and work his lower body. That should help him get some exercise and continue in his weight loss.

AMEN...I concur. Coach Dan was/IS high on Iran...he is loyal to his word. Some questioned Ajdin PENAVA in his early years and I submit he was the difference maker and our MVP last season.
