Humphries is listed at 255 pounds this season, down five pounds from his freshman year. Humphries, like the rest of the Wildcats, spent much of his time working out with the team. However, when Humphries went home to Sydney, Australia, for the summer for four weeks, he continued his rigorous workouts.

“I was running and working out everyday,” Humphries said. “My plan was to come back super skinny so I could build the muscle without having to break through the layer of fat first. I did a lot in Australia and that helped a lot.”

The change in his body has led to more confidence on the court, head coach John Calipari said.

“He’s a little more self-assured,” Calipari said. “I can’t help you with that. You either demonstrate performance on the court – he has to build confidence where his teammates want to throw him the ball. I can’t just say ‘have confidence in him, throw him the ball.’ So he’s doing that himself. That’s why, you look at him out there and you say ‘wow.’”

Sounds like Humphries could be a big help this season.
