Well my apologies then. I usually see the +1 as meaning the person agrees with the person they are quoting.

It means +1 to your post count. Always has. Although I agree people tend to use it when they agree with someones post. :eek:k:

He plays at the smallest classification in nc. But he also has never played that much football, comes into a traditionally average at best program, and all of a suddens leads his team to a 9-4 record, with two losses coming to 16-0 and 1aa state champion James Kenan which was loaded with athletes and could play with mosts teams in NC regardless of classification. Fraiser ran all over james kenan by the way and outshined NC State signee and Shrine Bowl selection Marcellus Sutton. The kid is a very talented prospect.

Any comparison to the Elijah Hood kid UNC signed this year? That guy is a boss.

Not as big as hood but faster. Hood is a complete power back, very strong, but doesnt have blazing speed and doesnt accelerate quickly. Rocky reid is more comparable. Fraiser has much more speed and acelerates much quicker. Not as strong but does have some power at 200 piunds. Hood certainly more refined having played longer and at a traditional power that plays higher competition.

Everything Griddie says about this kid is correct. I'm the editor of Frasier's hometown newspaper and I've seen him about 20 times in the last two seasons. He puts up video game numbers against everyone, not just bad teams. I've been covering eastern NC prep football since 1993, and he's one of the best players I've seen, at any classification.

He's able to run over a lot of the kids he plays against, but he will need to add some strength when he gets to college. As far as speed goes, he was second in the state indoor track championships a year ago, losing to a senior. Plus, he can start and stop on a dime, and catch the ball. Can't really say how he'd project at any other position because Princeton only uses him on offense and occasionally to return kicks.

Bama offered him today. Somehow I think Nick Saban's judgment is very strong evidence that he is not overrated.

You see much Charlotte-area ball, then? What are your thoughts on Riley Ferguson?

Looks like Saban is just watching who Butch offers, then follows a few days later and offers himself. I like where this is headed.

Hey you know as I do, Fraiser put up amazing numbers against James Kenan which is saying something for sure. id take fraiser over any back in NC this year. Give Vols fraiser and swinney and call it a day! Jcs do Vols have a real shot?

Hes down east, not in charlotte area in reference to Riley.

Sorry, I'm an idiot. I get goofed up by the East TN/West NC thing sometimes.

Oh no problem. Princeton is a small little town on highwsy 70 between raleigh and goldsboro. Its also not far from Clayton where Sterling Johnson is from, though Clayton has really grown in the past 20 years due to spill over from Raleigh.

Charlotte is 180 miles from Clayton, where I live these days. Princeton is 25 miles further down the road, but in the same county. So I don't see anything from Charlotte unless it's in a playoff game. I once lived in the Charlotte area, but that was a long time ago.

Frasier played against James Kenan twice last year. The first time, Princeton got way behind and started passing. He ended up only carrying the ball 12 times for 75 yards, but he caught six passes for 154. Princeton rallied and was down five in the fourth quarter, but JK scored to put it away.

They met again in the playoffs, and JK started fast again, leading 35-14 in the second quarter, and then Frasier went off, pulling them to within 41-30 by halftime and 41-36 in the third. It was 43-36 with two minutes to go, and he busted another TD run for about 50 yards, but it was called back for an illegal block (that wasn't even necessary...). James Kenan held on to win and wasn't really challenged again in the rest of their playoff games. He had 288 yards on 25 carries, against a team that could have played with just about anybody except the very best 4-A teams.

To the extent I know (I'm not best buddies with him or anything), Frasier is undecided on where he will go. I can see UT appealing to him in a way, though, because he's turned the program at Princeton around, he and an excellent coach who came into the program at the same time he did. He might want to do for the Vols what he's done for the Princeton Bulldogs. Princeton should have a good chance at winning the state title this fall.

I echo everything you say. Amazing what he had done for princeton football whic has certainly been more of a baseball school.

Never watched much College Football as a Kid. One day decided to watch and the Vols were Playing. He has always kept an eye on Tennessee since that day. He described the Tennessee offer as a "Big time offer" and also "A blessing." He is working every day towards developing a relationship with Gillespie and Bajakian. He loves the up tempo offense and thinks he will fit well. Claims no leaders at this point and will be visiting Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee in the up coming weeks to take a close look at the academic side of things which is huge in his recruitment.

This kid and Swinney are 2 of my favorite RBs in this class right now. This kid is quick and strong. He looks like the type of back that Bama would push for. I watched his hudl and the second play on the one titled "vs. Lakewood" sold me.

Oh man i want this kid as a Vol. I took ridiculing from several on a lot of sites in saying fraiser is the best back in the state - better than love, reid, gallaspy, hines. But he is and i hope hes a Vol. Would be a great match.

247 bumped him to a 91 the other day, #232 nationally. I have a feeling he'll be in the top 100 before it's over.

He's a very tough runner and looks like one of the more complete backs in this class. Would be a great addition to the three headed monster.
