@DMoney or anybody in the know. How is he progressing this season? I'm sure he's probably 2-3 years away from playing but wanted to check in on how he's perceived to be progressing.

 

[DMoney]

I haven't gotten an update on him but he was physically impressive in camp. Very big, not fat and athletic. Now he needs to learn how to play football. He was a basketball player and played against poor football competition.

Thanks, I'll take a O-lineman with a basketball background any day of the week. Hopefully he and Zion can be road graders together in the near future.

Play him in 4Q vs FIU!

I've heard the case be made about o-lineman and other sports but it's almost always wrestling.

I could see that. Most wrestlers in HS are pretty athletic and aggressive.

 

[U Know]

Thought someone said he was looking good in the Sunday scrimmages?!

Bryant McKinnie was a basketball player in HS IIRC.

If Zion keeps progressing the way he has been and the way the staff hypes him up to be, then El Gammal I will be very excited to see in 2-3 years because he has the same type of athleticism and length as Zion. Now the question is, is he as physically and mentally tough? I have been very impressed with the mental toughness of Zion. Would have been EASY for him to mentally shut down after the rough start he had to the season and nobody would have faulted him for it..but he kept at it, never felt sorry for himself, kept working..and now he is improving every week.

All I hear is good **** about him. Kid moves really well for his size and very coordinated for that huge frame.

 

[Mel Bernstein]

He looked really good blocking tires in the video that I saw - they couldn't seem to get by him

 

[edge]

Let’s hope its 2 years and not 3.

 

[CANEMC]

He'll definitely be in the mix come spring.

He looks to me to be nothing like Zion physically. ElGammel is thicker, not as mobile or quick feet. A guard, imo.

He has passed Tommy Kennedy on the depth chart.

My g, who hasn't passed Tommy Johns Kennedy on the depth chart?

 

[L A M P]

He has passed Tommy Kennedy on the depth chart.

**** Julio Derosier passed Tommy Kennedy on the depth chart & he was never even here lol

Wrong. Ping Pong.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Wrong. Ping Pong.

I would kill for an OL with superior ping pong hand-speed. If Zion would have been able to throw his hands like that against the Gaytors, we would have won that game.

if zion keeps progressing, he will only allow 5 sacks per game..

Huzzah!!!!

At this point, Tommy Kennedy may not be 1st string scout team.
