Class Impact: Zion Nelson to Miami

View as article
i'm thinking it was a super secret OV because we didn't want other teams to find out we are flipping 2 stars from app st.
imagine if other teams knew on this weekend...

"hey recruit you see miami that school youre interested in is trying to flip a 2 star.... they must be desperate... do you want to be a desperate recruit, or come win at not a clown college. (in terms of football)."

So I really need to understand this offer and his "upside" compared to someone like Mark Fox or Pope? Both face better competition, have better builds, are local, and both are from schools we want to be feeders. So 6'5" 240lb 2* with no P5 offers and competition is weak is the move over local 3* at 6'4" 290lb and has offers from the SEC, B1G, and ACC? Searles is still here why?
 
Welcome to the U. Wont bash the young man as he probably reads the board. Its disappointing that we started looking around for OL this late.

His frame and movement skills are like Terron Armstead and Tyron Smith. I think Smith was like 260 lbs as a starting tackle at USC. Lol at the usual azzclowns freaking out over a quality take. This kid has more efficient footwork than most high-rated HS OL and he has the will to drive block.

I understand being frustrated over the state of recruiting but that's a separate matter from Nelson who looks to be a worthy project. The best part is by the time he should be ready to play Richt will likely be gone so we can bring in a more creative offensive mind who can put Nelson's movement skills to good use. The Eagles just won a Super Bowl on the strength of their athletic OL executing a variety of movement-based schemes.

But feel free to keep whining about stars and offer sheets to fit your own personal narrative.

Terron Armstead was like 330lbs in High School. Tyron Smith was/is built like a ****-brickhouse and was a near 5* recruit.

Armstead was a zero star recruit. He played in the 290s in college. Smith played in the 260s in college. He has lean legs and a broad frame.

None of the above equate to Zion Nelson, so I have no idea why you are bringing them up into a discussion.

LANCE gave us a few athletic comps already. These guys are not a comparison to look at.

It's one thing to have studs lined up and then taking a flyer on a project like this. It's a completely different animal when he's one of your only OL commits in a year where we desperately need OL studs.

We’re also not even pursuing local kids like Maurice Smith who BC grabbed and has a pretty good track record producing OLines.

Cluster **** all the way around.

Absolute **** show, this whole recruiting cycle has been a disaster. That's what you get when you completely underachieve on the field.
 
Why not take Maurice Smith as your project from a pipeline in your backyard, Instead you go ahead with this guy not saying he can’t develop but why not take the project from your backyard !

Class Impact: Nothing. Kid is 230 lbs and we are his only D1 offer. Pathetic. Somehow this abortion of a staff outdoes themselves every day.
 
Stefan having a hard time putting some lipstick on this commitment news...

I thought Kehoe was a bad recruiter

Boateng is still begging for an offer right?
 
Jesus what a freaking mess! Have some balls Blake and fire this clown already. Better yet I hope you get fired Blake.
