Question in regards to TJ Yeldon's conditioning

I forget who it was on jox or an independent ESPN radio show I was listening to, but one of them reported TJ put on around 10-15 pounds of solid muscle since A-day and hasn't missed a step. Now the reason this isn't really clicking with me is TJ was listed at 6' 2" and 218 around the end of spring iirc. Putting on that weight would make him either right below or right above 230. Is that really the weight we want him at or more specifically the coaches and staff? Anybody who has watched the practices or seen him up close, your input is appreciated. To be honest, I'm calling either complete bogus or overexaggeration.
Thanks.
Thanks.

a 230 pound yeldon is a scary thing. The dude was a piece of granite at 218. At his height and age 230 sounds like a good career playing weight to me. We couldn't expect him to remain the same size after a year of Cochran
Gaining 10 pounds of muscle validates what we already knew, the kid works hard. Knowing this means I don't doubt his conditioning

If you can play just as well, move just as well, and be in just as good shape at 230 as you were at 218, I'd rather you play at 230.
That said I'm suddenly reminded of CNS' press conference yesterday where he said Cooper had the highest conditioning scores and Sunseri was second. Coop is beastly and Sunseri is in good shape. Interested in the top ten in terms of the shape their in.

1). They obviously were exaggerating about his muscle gain.
2). He could have lost fat (lost weight) and gained more muscle mass (gained muscle weight). It doesn't necessarily mean he added another 10 pounds to his previous weight.
3). I'm sure this means he got leaner, which is good.
