Okay, so the sentinel caught up to the 8th maxim (took a year and a few weeks) and did a similar exercise... but they didn't do it right. Their 2018 figures are wrong. Tennessee IS bigger this year. Wrong article by by wrong people: https://www.knoxnews.com/story/spor...emy-pruitt-eric-gray-jeremy-banks/1985705001/
I think part of it is the author doesn't realize that even a few pounds average difference is pretty significant, when it is showing up as an average of half a dozen or more guys.
Well his 2018 numbers are wrong. He either pulled them from later in the season in 2018 (my guess) and isn't comparing apples to apples, or is maybe not including the full roster. Either way, his 2018 numbers for some positions aren't right. For some, they are. But even his own numbers show a clear upward trend. And compare it to 2017 and there is NO CONTEST. They're getting bigger under Pruitt. You don't even need a scale to see it.
