Anything H&G can add from here on out would be great...

for starters, his name is Doug...no idea who Kevin is.
I sent off an email to osugrad late last night after the Colerain Stag once I got the inside scoop on Wisconsin and Tennessee. UT really, really likes Doug from what I am gathering. UC is a serious player because they do have a very good sports medicine program...but so does Tennessee. This is going to be an odd recruitment, IMO...Doug is a drop back passer with a big arm, but he will run the option again this coming season...its hard to get a gauge on a QB who never throws the ball....at least from a college recruiters perspective.
Doug is probably not fast enough to play any other position at that high of a level, though...he's a tweener in my opinon: not experienced enough of a thrower to be a top QB candidate, nor fast enough to be a top ATH....
HOWEVER, Doug is a well grounded kid with great parents. He IS a great student AND he
could develop into a fine college drop back qb. He'll not be a top 'get' for somebody, but he will be a good gamble for somebody because he will graduate, conduct himself with class and represent his university the right way.
If I had to grade him, I'd give him 2 stars...Should play his way into a solid 3 stars before the end of his senior season. I don't think he gets to 4...But that doesn't mean I don't think he will be a good QB...there is just some risk involved because of him running an option offense.
Hope that helps, Wadc!
