Big Zion Nelson

[CreativeCane]

I mean he could just medically retire, or graduate in a few days and move on to life after ball. If his knees wont let him play makes no sense to transfer. If in Fall (when the 85 actually matters) he is still on ship I will share your confusion but until then I am in the camp of he wont be on the roster in 3 months.

What a reasonable and mature take on CIS...

When Zion is 30 years old we will still be asking when he is going to suit up again.

He could have also just received some advice from Cam McCormick.

Cam: ok listen here Zion, if you take 7 medical redshirts in a row, you'll be able to play when your 36 and healthy. Adult strength. **** them kids.

 

[Dwinstitles]

hes still alive? insane how we told players to go eslewhere but somehow keep him on ship. i feel like were just doing this to avoid a med mal lawsuit lol

Think he’s probably content with the situation that’s the only explanation I can think of

He is still on scholarship, correct? So, he's still getting education, meals (good quality), lodging free of charge. I don't know about his NIL package, but I assume he has some source of income. Very few expenses and has his own money to spend. Great weather and hot chicks everywhere. Sign me up.

Today is graduation. Haven't seen him listed anywhere as an Undergrad.

Maybe he got a graduate degree....

This guy hasn’t been available it seems like forever-
It’s obvious it’s serious or he would be out there-

I have no idea if he even has a football future -

Hope he has his degree with good health in the future.

Props to Zion. Came in way before he was ready, put in the work to transform his body, left it all out on the field and keeps working to see what the future might hold. No clue if he will ever play a snap for anybody but that’s the kind of resilience that will take you places.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

If his knees are shot, no point in transferring because he’s not going to play anywhere else. Might as well just enjoy the time with friends and get the most out of the scholarship. I hope he does well in life.

Agree. Zion put on a tremendous amount of bodyweight probably too quickly in hindsight. Wishing this man nothing but the best, both now, and for his future.

Get healthy. Study the game. If you want to remain in the game, get into coaching, psych, nitrition, or business roles.

If not, then, like 90% of college athletes, go pro in something other than sports.

I was assuming graduate. I felt I read somewhere Zion was very bright and was going after a difficult degree. He started for us as a TF in 2019. Id imagine he was able to graduate in the normal 4 years if not faster.

Flo indicted we have some players graduating that will free up a couple more roster spots. None of us would be surprised if that was a player like Nelson, Redding or another player on the roster

Flo indicted…

He should be, over that jacurri nonsense.

Apparently we don’t need more spots since it’s down to Baron and 1 more target. Kind of surprised tbh.

 

[Mikesmith29150]

Balom and Campbell are graduating
