View attachment 146424I’m with it. But they ain’t **** for writing the last part.
Especially when basically half of them were the first game he ever started.

Im looking at from a program leadership perspective..... his (and the rest of OL) play was so atrocious that at some SEC programs they all would have been fired by now (ok.. never hired in first place...)... not to mention again the increased risk of a catastrophic hit in backfield because he was a turnstile (ask Romo)... Im not certain Saban, Dabo, JJ, Butch, Erickson, Ogeron, et al run programs because thatbis what a recruit likes...your looking at it from a fans perspective, which is cool ... but if i'm a recruit i want the same opp zion had ... also, if we give that opp to a lesser 2* guy, then i definitely have a shot to shine as a higher ranked guy ... taylor and williams will be critical this fall ... we have to have roles from them
Pretty sure he cuts his own hairI don’t know why, but I really don’t like Spencer Rattler. Maybe it’s because he’s ugly as ****
No doubtTwo related thoughts:
1. He was out there because we truly had no better option.
2. Props to whoever identified him in the first place. If I remember correctly, he was part of that last minute New York recruiting push we made, seemingly out of desperation.
WRONG! Sapp was a very highly-regarded player in HS. Bill Buchalter of the Orlando Sentinel, who picked the Florida team for the old Georgia-Florida HS All-Star gam told me Sapp was the best player on the Florida team. Buchalter pretty much knew the talent in Florida. That was a terrific all star game, before these newer national A-A games. All the top Florida and Georgia talent played in that game.Zion is turning into the Warren Sapp 2 star TE story and we will hear about for years from the slurpers who say "see we don't need 5 stars that go to SEC, look at Zion guys!!!!!!"
I still thought he had a bright future. He didn’t bend enough at the knees but that was fixable. He was raw but I could see a body I liked.Kid was a 225 LB TE and in between HS and his first start he put on almost 50 lbs. He needed to adjust to his new body and should have taken a RS, but he took his lumps and the hate of fans (several that still post here called him trash and said he was the worst OL we've ever had). We have some f#cking moronic fans that think he shouldnt be a first round pick in the draft because of his freshman year. Fortunately most GMs aren't as dumb.
We had nobody “legitimate better.”give up 10000000000000000 sacks, risk significant injury to teammate(s), lose games.
Brilliant strategy.
OR, bring someone like Zion to ride the bench behind a legitimate better OL, and when the time is right, allow Zion to earn his moment in a real game on the practice field.
I can’t believe we found three legitimate Div I prospects out of NYC. When I lived there everybody just cared about baseball and basketball.Zion is from South Carolina. It was JHH, Blissett, and El Gammel from NY.
I believe Nelson was a Butch Barry eval.
If zion goes first round you gotta give another nod to manolo ... he threw him out there as a freshman, let him take his lumps, coached him up and two years later he's a first rounder, that's the type of pub we need
Jobe’s going to be 24 by the time he’s drafted.Josh Jobe LOL. Finally had a decent season last year but nowhere near first round. Still talking about him in high school
or could it be that manny haters look to dissect every comment about him ... my comment wasn't some huge conspiracy to prop him up ... but zion was not the only options, however he was even with the older guy and they played him ... i'm looking at it from a future recruiting pitch, not so much of a "our talent sucked so bad we had to start this guy" perspective, because we didn't ... similar to what we can present to portal guys now, we took jaelan in, developed him and he was out ... same concept, just provides more recruiting ammo ... trob referred to it on his pressers, look at my resume, i send guys to the leagueYeah bro props to Manny for throwing him in his first year in college and letting him get abused week after week. Maybe give props to the kid for coming in and working, I swear y’all will say anything to try and give Manny credit.
