i have seen various writers reference the 1000 ab rule. What it claims is that most players need 1000 professional ab's to reach their potential. Baddoo just past that mark this season and is giving appearances that he has found himself.So he may be an example.

If true,, it would seem to validate Baltimore's and other's go slow with prospects approach.

I haven't seen the data used to support this hypothesis. Does anyone know why these "experts" say this? Does anyone have data to support it? I would be interested to see it if it exits.
