Mentioning a player eating his way out of a position 3 times is a little excessive, don't you think? And why say that when it's highly unlikely in a top-notch college S&C program? It's one thing if weight issues have arisen before to bring them up (a la Jordan Davis), but that hasn't been the case for him. Does this look like a kid that's going to eat his way out of position (hypothetically, of course)?
That looks like a player we need to get on campus and feed... the ball. Grown man right there.
From several guys I've spoken to they say it's hard to keep the weight on. Between practice and conditioning a lot of them are getting force fed to maintain weight. I know they aren't allowed to leave the facility after workouts until they finish they post workout shake, some guys have to drink two.
Seems to like the weights/working on his body

I’m completely dumbfounded by the notion that this kid could eat himself out of shape. I mean you can “could” all you want to but this kid ain’t Eddie Lacy and Trent Richardson, nowhere close. I think those comments are WAY off base.
Great watch. Has all the support you’d want to see for a kid going far away from home. Absolutely want him as a Dawg!
I definitely understand. And you may very well prove right.
Bad lighting for the pic, maybe
@dgd829 - absolutely nothing wrong with your opinion. And I doubt you would have been challenged if you didn't add the weight stuff. That is what threw everyone.
Most of you're opinion may turn out to be correct - except the weight issue. I'm sure you are aware that all these players are now hooked up to GPS systems. High schools are starting to look into it.
It tells the coaches how many miles a kid went, how often he gave full effort, his top speed, how many calories burned, etc. Then the training staff designs meal plans for each player.
Milton will struggle keeping weight on if anything. When he eventually stops playing football he could blow up like a balloon - but not before.
Miami commit, 4⭐ DE Tre'von Riggins
So its ok to say a kid needs to go from 270 up to 300 but not say that a kid could go from 220 as a HS junior up to idk 240-260 as college Junior. Give me a break with this weight crap.
I don't get your point.
Do you not see the difference between a kid needing to gain weight to play a position and another kid who doesn't.
S&C will help kids gain or lose.
Predicting a kid will just randomly eat himself out of being a running back is just incorrect.
There’s also a difference in saying he could grow/bulk up to where he’s too big for RB, vs. “he’ll eat his way out of the position.” Inferring he’s lazy and won’t stay in the best shape. I think that’s what some of us are saying.
But it’ all good, let’s move on.
