Varnado wants to play at "around 240"

Mississippi State center Jarvis Varnado has gained 12 pounds so far this offseason in hopes that he can play at close to 240 pounds in his senior season, he said today.

Varnado, speaking to reporters in advance of his trip next week to try out for the World University Games, said he’s been eating “four strong meals a day” with some shakes to back it up.

The 6-foot-9 Varnado, who said he’s at 223 pounds, cited a need to get stronger as a reason he withdrew his name from the NBA Draft earlier this spring.

“I just wasn’t ready for the draft this year,” Varnado said. “I feel like if I’d just work harder this upcoming season and get my body right and just getting my skill level right, I figure I can be a top-10 pick next year.”
