A note on Zion Nelson

[chris2183l]

Zion, Cohen, Lee, Rivers, Mauigoa

This was my ideal line as well if zion was healthy. Then you have Cooper and Okunlola first off the bench. That's a solid group. Any worry that Okunlola would be upset if hes not starting right away? Obviously 3 of those guys are most likely gone after this year anyways so the opportunity would be there going forward for him.

No gerth at dt? we have depth(bodies) whether there good or jags wasn't made clear in your post!

Jag or no Jag is in the eye of the beholder.

LT is an all-conference player.
Deen is a high level starter.

Everything else is up to you.

A lot of unproven guys just like everyone else til they play a game then we will see!

Stop it....Lee is a Top 3 center in CFB. Coaches are raving about him.

They raved about John Campbell and DJ Ivey, too

I haven’t seen the new guys just yet (Campbell, Horton)…but Gore and the others…**** it.

You guys see them and decide.

He was Graded as a Top 2 Center in CFB a few months ago by every major publication. He was a Stud at UCF.

I hope the plan is to give him time to rehab this summer and limit his reps during camp. If he is hurt, the 2 needs to have some experience. If he is healthy, he will be fine.

He’s had a year to rehab, it’s go time

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

I’ll say this. I saw a picture of Anez Cooper a day or two ago and he looks to be in tremendous shape.

Low key…Cooper is going to give Rivers all he can handle for that interior spot.

He was arguably our best O-lineman last season as a young pup. Rivers has played a little better than a JAG so far, albeit out of position.

Campbell transferred to a Top 10 program and will be a starting guard for them.

DJ Ivey is in the NFL.

What’s your point sir?

 

[D_G87]

Only thing I want is no injuries during fall camp. Pray we going to week one with a fully healthy roster

Lol good luck with that

No more Kool Aid for me thank you.

Moten is the key IMO. Would be nice if he could give us starting caliber 1T snaps. We need him to be a solid rotational guy at worst. He looked good in the spring game/we heard some positive spring buzz on him, so I am cautiously optimistic. I think he’s one of the most important players on the team this year.

DT depth is obviously not where it needs to be. LT, Deen, JHH, Moten and then not much (and frankly JHH and Moten are question marks). Lichtenstein can maybe give you some serviceable snaps. Campbell is more of a hybrid type. Not confident Gore will be playable at this level. Mesidor can kick inside on some passing downs, but he’s our SDE.

EDIT: apologies for contributing to the thread derailment. Zion is healthy, let’s discuss DT depth .

 

[SayWhat]

It would certainly be great to see him get back to it. That would be awesome for us, but more importantly for him.

His story here is one of the strangest and most secretive I remember though. That's from things I've read here and others I trust. I hope it turns into success and one day we get the entire story.

Zion, Cohen, Lee, Rivers, Mauigoa

I have Cooper over Rivers

 

[ghost2]

I have Cooper over Rivers

Doesn't matter IMO cause Cooper and Rivers should share a ton of snaps.

 

[Papo]

Yall are smoking if u think cooper is better than Rivers lol its not even close

Cooper was very impressive when he was on the field last year. Five to ten yards down the field mauling whatever body was in front of him.

 

[Brains]

Humo re denso

 

[BostonCanes47]

The kool-aid is strong with this one. I would say 2 in the top 3 rounds with 1 or 2 in 4th-6th round and even then I think that is more of a best case scenario.

Key word you missed is potential

You thought Ivey and Campbell played well last year?
