Who thinned, expanded, grew and shrunk?

Kudos to Chris Anderson for doing the yeomen’s work here, but it’s that time when West Virginia’s players step on a scale and a tape measure to gauge weight and height. It’s always fun — and this year, Mr. Anderson includes some new jersey numbers — but let’s talk for a moment about something serious.
WVU’s cornerbacks put on weight and otherwise shrunk. One gained 18 pounds and is now a biscuit under 210 and a newcomer is up 10 pounds to also surpass 200. But another lost 20 pounds, which is really weird for a true freshman, but not as weird as four corners losing and inch and two losing two inches.
(And if you think offseason weight programs don’t matter, Jovon Durante and Josh Lambert, who were banished for the spring, lost 15 and 12 pounds, respectively.)
