Ivins reported that he doesn’t know if this is a good thing cause supposedly feely has been telling kids to not try to put on weight before they get on campus so that it’s done right

No it can’t. Not without steroids. The human body just isn’t made to add muscle that quick. Muscle takes time to break down and heal/grow.

And when you add muscle, a lot of weight is water with some fat and other tissue. The term muscle is misused bc nobody adds just muscle.

Someone whose 6’5” 270 pds can add 20 pounds of muscle way faster than someone whose 6’ 185 pds.
 
with a dad jacked and in the profession, i'm betting this kid comes on to campus a lot further ahead in S&C than our usual baby fat OL... Odds are he probably has a pretty good work ethic too.. hoping for another Zion surprise here...

Here’s an opinion. This guy and Zion have no business at Miami. Both will be gone from Miami in 2-3 years or never play a down their entire time here.

It’s hilarious reading comments from people that have no clue, somehow suggesting the kid has great footwork or stregnth based on watching a 1 minute video of blocking tires and doing lightweight shrugs.

Bump
 
Why bump this? Did this kid play? From the video I saw on YouTube of this kid in a Miami practice this kid is slow as heck. Also looked uninterested in the drills.
 
Even when they were recruited, you could at least see traits in Zion Nelson that project well. He was a low rated recruit and there were some warts, but you could at least see there was ingredients there...and it has seemingly paid off, to a point. He's not an All-Conference guy yet, but he actually may end up being after a horrendous freshman season.

El Gammel though...he was playing right tackle only, often had help on his side, and was playing against 5'8" 190lb white kids on the edge and even then, he didn't look great. Thought he had slow feet, was just big. Its not a shock he lasted less than two years here.

Jarrid Williams coming back probably put this in motion. Bummer as he looked like he had some tools to work with, but i would also have to think Isiah Walker and Chris Washington might be jumping him if he is indeed leaving

i think he was practicing at guard?

If we had kept Tarquin and added Neal, I would have been celebrating Searels' forethought on taking these flyer kids. But you don't feature Nelson, EG and Clark as your only three HS OL recruits. That's not championship recruiting when you have zero depth for 2019 and 2020.

I read that Barry likes Nelson and that EG is a freak. Been following Geta's takes for years, so happy he likes EG. Hope that translates. But, honestly, the best case scenario any of these kids provides 1st-team snaps is 2021. There's no Jason Fox, Seantrel Henderson, Eric Winston, Erack Flowers, plug-and-play talent in this class. All high-beta kids, and Clark is a low-ceiling kid to boot. Barry has his work cut out for him.

Bump. ... We got a lot more out of Nelson than I expected this past season. And Clark wasn't the worst lineman to start in 2019. But what a **** show. We really need to recruit better. Our OL is not even close to being championship caliber.
