So how does Frazier impact our class? Does this eliminate?

Tim Watts and Charles Power both say that this has zero effect on Elam.

So does Magilla.

Napier doing work, what is it with WR coaches and recruiting in general? Is it because that position is usually coached by a younger guy on the staff?


You sell out on recruiting at the coaching position over being a technical coach. That's why someone like Gunter Brewer has never been a hot commodity.

That's not to say both aspects don't intertwine, but you can usually call the split...

Oh I understand that (see Lance Thompson) its just with the exception of Lance you often see best recruiter tagged to the WR coach ie Napier, Groh, Trooper Taylor, Derek Dooley, even Harbinson under Shula.

That is great news.

Andrew Brown has already signed his grant so he gone (yes I know that isn't permanent ) and we already know GWIII is a silent to LSU.

Maybe Johnny Dwight flips? OJ looks very solid.

I think either OJ Smith or the kid from GA may have grade problems. Hope not the kid from GA I really like him.

Smith has grade issues. Don't know how serious though.

Most are the recruiting coordinators too.

It's age, they are the more relatable guys, look at the ages of 24/7's top 10:

Travaris Robinson(DB, 32)
Billy Napier(WR, 34)
Bryan McClendon(RB, 29)
Dameyune Craig(Co-OC, 39)
Mike Vrabel(DL, 38)
Jeremy Pruitt(DC, 38)
Doug Nussmeier(OC, 42)
Kendal Briles(WR, 31)
Chip West(CB, 42-43)
Michael Barrow(LB, 43)

I like OJ Smith a lot. He would be a NG. Good push and explosive. Getting him and Elam would be amazing for us.

Not to include Kirby. He'll be up there after NSD.

Smith moves better than Frazier and probably Elam, but is more a work in progress ala Darren Lake.

Yet both he and Frazier were told by the staff that they reminded them of Marcell Dareus

ETA: Both Dwight and Smith have been talked about regarding grades and that probably won't be tucked away until they are on campus taking classes.

No doubt.

I still can't get over UGA's RB coach being 29.

I know Utah has Brian Johnson on staff as OC, aka the QB who beat Bama in the Sugar Bowl.

I like OJ a lot too. He told one of the sites that he's on track to qualify now after the classes he took over the summer.

Hell Pat Summit was in her mid 20s when she became the head coach at Tennessee.

The Glenville Trio finally made it to town about 3 hours ago. I think they are at Chucks based on a pic I saw from Marcelys Jones.
