They have nutrition to a science. A buddy of mine walked on and during Fall camp gained 15 lbs of pure muscle. He went from squatting around 450 lbs to repping 405lbs.
So has Belk practiced and made enough progress to get on the field tomorrow?

Yeah right. Like we loaded with 5 star linemen. Lmao. He will play and kick azz. Tater azz in November!
Maybe we put too much emphasis on getting him on the field this year.
Nobody on here knows what's about to happen or just how much Belk will or is ready to play.
If you do, please tell us how you know.
I'll hang up and listen.

I'm obviously exaggerating here, but I feel like people are thinking this guy is going to step in and be a force on the dline immediately. Think we need to be cautious.
I'm pulling for him but just don't see it happening until later in the year.
This one is going to be interesting to watch play out. There seems to be more to this whole story than is currently known. The kid sure has all the skills to be a stud player, maybe it was just a change of heart or he felt that he was at a disadvantage after the Clemson D-Line all decided to come back. I don't know. The whole way this one has gone just seems "different" than the norm.
We need 6 DTs to get through the year. That is where he will come into play.
3rd & short vs UghA, Josh stand here. A handful of these plays will create the gap fill we need to alter their running game. I've seen this episode before. I'm not asking for much else
Red Shirts are for Dillards.
No BELK
young man is going to play

He's a 5* so you give him a shot. He might only be here three. You don't want to waste one of those.

I think the over weight is just a side effect of taking 3-4 months off. Shouldn't take too long to get back where he was.
CWM said in his presser Belk would play. Some tomorrow, and more as the season progresses. No need for speculation unless there is a drastic departure from what was stated.
He was not that highly rated until a good showing at the Army bowl thingy. He was 320lbs against HS kids. He jumped to 360lbs to play against D1 college men who have been in the system. Let's be real, if he was working out during a 2mo break he wouldn't have gained 30lbs. He will play but I highly doubtful he is any force this year and not unseeding anyone. If he's a force, it's because it's Coastal in the 4th and not Georgia in 1st.
I hate to ask, but I know that you have vast coaching experience and unlimited knowledge regarding this kid but I can't help myself. Why?
Please enlighten us all.
You are giving him too much time. Clemson spring game was middle April. All schools do weight training after spring practice and I don't mean standing on scales. During that time they are on nutrition program. He left CU at end of May and was at USC end of July. So 2mos he gained 25-30lbs, I just have issue with this because that is super fast for a teenager full of testosterone.
I am guessing he is referring to the Maryland fiasco if I was a betting man. If I was a concerned head coach I might be a little gun shy?
There's most likely no way that this poster has any inside info on this subject. I'm fairly confident that Muschamp, the team doctor, Belk and his family will make the right call.
Not me. When I played we were on strict 4000 to 6000 calorie diets during workout season. When you eat like that and aren't burning the energy, you'll put on weight and fast.
Triton, i'll respond to you, you are a knowledgeable good poster, yes, and i believe you have stated and i agree, the guy is out of shape, .. it amazes me how some posters think, they see a guy with 4 stars beside his name and want to make him AA before he steps on the field. One poster had him staying only 3 years. He will not be a major contributor this year and the coaches, due to him being out of shape coaches will bring him along slowly, one would assume.Why a proposed stud player would let himself get out of shape going into his freshman year is beyond me..
A few on this board, dont like it, but this IS a a forum where opinion's exist

It sickens me when I realize Muschamp ran our program so far into the ground it's going to take
