Frazier is a highly intelligent young man with an
outstanding football IQ. He’s very coachable and
possesses rare intangibles. Kiehl is a winner and a
natural leader. Very poised. Commands the huddle. Seems
to thrive under pressure. Oozes “it”. Physically,
Frazier has everything you look for in a QB. Operates
primarily out of the shotgun. Extremely athletic with
elite arm strength..great velocity and RPMs. Can make
all the throws and understands when to make them…can fit
the ball into tight windows, yet knows when to put touch
on it and get air underneath his throws. Very accurate
passer, uncannily so when allowed to set his feet.
Improvises at times and mechanics can be inconsistent as
a result, but still ahead of the curve at this stage.
Great field vision and awareness. Reads defenses well.
Understands how to use his mobility to buy time. Threat
as a passer and a runner. Elite prospect.
Translation to College:
Frazier, an Auburn commit, fits Malzahn’s offense like a
glove. The offense he runs at Shiloh Christian is very
similar to the one the Tigers run, which should help
ease his transition to the college level. Will more than
likely back up Cam Newton and/or redshirt as a true
freshman and should take over the starting job by his
2nd year on campus. Should continue to progress because
of his coach-ability, intelligence and desire to
improve. Expect Kiehl to put up huge numbers on The
Plains and have the Tigers competing for SEC
Championships. Perfect fit for Auburn.
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.
