A perfect 3-4 defensive end to me. He can play the end position in a 4-3 as well, but his growth may dictate a switch to tackle. Greg displays a great motor and very active hands and feet -- even when engaged. Stout run defender on the edge, and is very disciplined in his gap responsibility. Advanced prep lineman in terms of hand use, disengage skills, and counter moves. Tends to play too high off the snap and that negates some of his power against opposing linemen. Could also use some explosion work in the gym and on the practice field if he's going to stay as a 4-3 end. Ready to play physically the moment he steps on campus.


Translation to College:

Greg is one of the more polished defensive linemen in the 2011 class both physically and mentally. He should be a three-deep player as a freshman. Has some minor things to work on such as pad level and leverage. I see Greg as a two-year starter with All-American potential if he stays healthy.

Becoming a hot commodity


 

 For Kiehl Frazier, the awards, and scholarship offers, keep on coming. The 6’3” 210 pound star signal-caller from Arkansas’ Shiloh Christian was just recently named the 2009 4A Arkansas Player of the Year. The next morning, TCU offered him a scholarship. It was the 14th offer for Frazier already.


Now or never for Spurrier at South Carolina



November 23rd, 2004 was an exciting day in Columbia, South Carolina. A day filled with hope and anticipation of what was to come. The Gamecocks had just inked a SEC coaching legend to coach their football team. The "Fun 'n' Gun" was coming to save the day or at least make it better. Surely a coach that led Duke University to an ACC title could fix the little problems at South Carolina.

 
Report Cards: Offseason Coaching Changes




With the 2010 recruiting cycle inching towards the finish line, here at ThaRinger we feel it’s a better time to more clearly evaluate the off-season’s coaching changes with the recently gained recruiting hindsight. There were 22 head coaching changes and not all of those changes were created equally.
