Expectations for Zion

[FRCane]

Just curious what the consensus is for Zion this season? Will he even be back? Wouod he even take anyones spot this season? Move to RT? The line seems pretty locked in with Jalen at LT right now.

I have zero expectations for that young man. If he contributes, it's a bonus.

 

[JgDaCane]

None. You know that already though.

 

[MiamiBusiness]

I think he starts at LT if healthy. I prefer Rivers inside.

There are a handful of players we can get all ACC type seasons from or nothing, he is one of them. When healthy he is a real talent. Very quiet though so not expecting much.

[Stylie]

Not a lot.

From all I have read on this site from the couple of individuals that do have good information ... any minutes that Zion gives will be a gift to the program and he is basically not part of the core game planning roster. Has a knee that can't take the weight.

I personally have very high expectations of him, which is the exact opposite of how I felt when he was a freshman or sophomore.

There's no way coaches wouldn't have gone out and gotten an OT in the portal if they didn't expect Nelson back healthy. I was yapping about that all portal long. But we hardly even sniffed at OTs. Brad Tejada opined on the CIS live stream last week that it was because Nelson was closer to being ready than people realize. That was my "ah ha" moment. Our boy is coming back with a vengeance.

Kid was lights out at the tail end of the 2021 season when TVD was setting passing records. And this is his money year. Zion will be All ACC this season. That's my hot take.

You had me with you until you mentioned Eddie Mush. Now I fear Zion may never walk again.

So you’re saying he’s not a candidate for Inday’s 2023 breakout player of the year?

By the way, who are you adopting this season?

See Sixto Sanchez

Or Threeto Sanders...

Everything I read said Rivers struggled at LT. Hoping that is not the plan

Starting OT without a doubt. Not sure I understand the treatment he gets from fans. He missed a season with a knee injury. Before suffering that injury he started 32 games and looked good doing it.

1. His application for candidacy has been declined.

2. I am currently expecting more breakouts on my face than anyone on the rooster. But there’s still time.

If he starts I will have high expectations. If he doesn't or only does part-time duty then not much

If he doesn't start we could be relying on the freshmen
