“MJ and Larry expressed to me that this is for my own good – for my longevity,” May said. “Coach Brown is really old-school and really cut-and-dry. This is tough love-type stuff. Now I understand it, and I just want to play. I haven't been 260 since I left (North) Carolina. But if that's what they want, that's what they want. Coach Brown has been upset with me because I've plateaued for a while at 270.”
According to Coach Brown, as soon as May “achieves that (weight) goal, he'll be part of the rotation.”
