Hodge Podge
Dave Sez he'll have to see it to believe it, but I think a Beefed-up Julius Hodge is among the summer's most important stories.After several months of weight-lifting, countless protein shakes and numerous dietary supplements, Hodge weighs in at 205 pounds, a far cry from the wire-thin 189 pounds he carried last season.
The extra weight -- mostly muscle -- will enable the Wolfpack slasher to play more physical down low. He'll last longer in games and wear out would-be defenders with greater ease. And an improved Hodge makes Herb Sendek's bunch a serious contender for the ACC (and national?) title.
