Well magee play well when hecwas in there last year, especially the Auburn game, so if traore is in the mix he at least stepped up to magees level.

Well, Traore's size can make up for other areas IF he excells in areas such as technique.

So to get Traore to starter level, maybe not All-SEC but acceptable starter, is a matter of fixing the things you can such as technique. It's a much shorter path than trying to improve his agility, balance, and footspeed over the course of a camp. You have to accept he's not so good in those areas so get the technique down and fix the balance and go about your business (at least for this year).

He had a lot to learn. For him to be in the mix he has to already be strong/tough enough and coachable (to master technique). So with that in mind, he might legitimately be in the mix. If not, based on performance so far, this is propaganda.

If Cregg pulls that off... he's a good coach, take a bow. That's just short of a miracle based on spring game and scrimmage.
