That thing you see flying across the line of scrimmage
as soon as the ball is snapped -- that's Timmy Jernigan.
Great quickness off the snap helps Jernigan get in the
opposing backfield on a consistent basis. Beats opposing
lineman with speed and strength -- needs to work on some
pass rushing moves and counters. Recognizes the play
rather quickly and splits gaps. Pretty good disengage
technique and has a strong upper body. Shows good
pursuit for the most part and has excellent lateral
movement for his size. Rarely gets pushed off his space
and is very active when challenged by an offensive
lineman. Sometimes conditioning can become an issue at
the end of games.
Translation to College:
When motivated, Jernigan is the best defensive tackle
prospect in the nation. A good year of a college
strength and conditioning program will only make him
that much better. Should see some playing time as a
freshman with a high probability of being a starter or
major contributor as a sophomore.
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.
