Boom

The guys that signed today...have a TON of potential. Wanya Morris us obvious 5 star talent. But watch Melvin McBride on film. There is not a better lineman in TN.

Bends extremely well and is already strong as a haus. I personally think he could push for a spot along with Morris.

McBride is in good health and weighs 315 currently. He graduates in three weeks and will then enroll at UT. The future OG says he’s been diligent using Craig Fitzgerald’s weight regimen and has focused on maintaining a better diet of late, too.

Okay okay. That’s some serious beef

Okay okay. That’s some serious beef

Agreed. Nice to hear he has been following Fitzgerald’s plan. Could be a sleeper to work himself into the rotation this year if he has consistently been working.

Bumping this thread had me worried. This is great news tho. He will come in Bigger than everyone on the OL except Smith and Calbert. And healthy to boot!

Hell I wish we could get Fitz workout plans, the way these guys are getting them gainz

 

[Geaux_Vols]

[ChismsHeadband]

Wow, that sucks. Had high hopes for this guy.

They must've found something in his physical or something. Dang.

 

[Go Fight Win]

[Ron Swanson]

Bummer

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

Well, I'll just say, I hope whatever it is that it isn't life threatening and that he has a long, healthy road ahead of him. BUT WOW.

Heart issues

Heart issues

Oh man. Was hoping it was just something to do with a knee or whatever.
Now I'm just truly concerned.

 

[bignewt]

so that leaves us with 4 OL in the 19 class right?

Heart issues

That is what I heard back in early January was that he had heart issues. I heard it from a Georgia Rivals mod who said that the Georgia staff felt he may have been one of the most athletic lineman in the country but they were reserved because of the issue. I was a little skeptical about it at first, seems true now.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Poor kid man thats really unfair. Wish the best for him. How many OL have we lost to health issues in the last year? Antonutti, McBride, Trey and Im sure Ive missed a few others.

It is what it is. Good luck to the kid, and on to the next....

If true, kudos to Coach Pruitt for following through with the process. I am sure he can continue on with his education and will probably help the program in some capacity.

INB4 the inevitable “WTF is Pruitt doing” posters descend.
