I know you love defending this.  I think growing a kid about 30 lbs is what can be expected.

Munoz yes - and he's listed at 255 (+30 = 285)

Tuazama maybe yes - listed at 6-5 250 (+30 = 280)

Okechukwu has already put on about 20 lbs (listed at 261)

Dawson listed at 6-5 237. (tall but +30 is 267)

Those kids aren't going to be 'grown' into 300 pounders. 280 is probably peak, 290 would be outstanding. To expect it as matter of fact is a stretch. To succeed on the DL in the ACC at 280 takes elite type quickness, strength and talent. Just my opinion.

Bromley I'm pretty sure came in north of 260, maybe 270. Played at 285

Black was about 238 when he came in. He plays at 270.

Slayton was around 270 when he came in. He played anywhere from 290-309.

Ruff was about 255 when he came in and put on the most weight listed at 308 right now.

McKinnely came in around 250 and is currently listed at 282.

3 of the 4 current kids put on 30 pounds.

There are 100+ defensive tackles over 250 lbs listed here... We need to do a better job starting off with heavier hippos so we can actually get them to 300lbs. I think there are a lot more Eric Crume's out there than people realize. We're going to struggle on the DL playing at 280.

Illoa is listed at 280 right now and comes in at #121 on the DT list but we're projecting him as an OL ?
