Lawrence plays linebacker in high school, but we feel
with his frame and skill-set that his position down the
road will be off the edge as a defensive end or hybrid
backer in a 3-4. Has the frame and body structure to put
on 25-30 pounds without losing much athletically.
Flexibility and change of direction issues would arise
if you played him as a linebacker in space at the
college level. Very physical tackler with great, strong
hands. His burst and acceleration within a 5-10 yard
window is elite. Slippery for blockers to handle, and
plays very long with his arm length.
Translation to College:
Has the potential to be an All-American type defensive
end with his explosion, length, aggressiveness and
strength he possesses. Michigan State is not likely to
redshirt him, so how hard he works in the time between
getting on campus and seeing the field in the fall will
be key to what position he lines up in as a freshman.
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.
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.
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.
