Hugh Freeze has been busy this offseason reformatting his coaching staff, hiring Auburn’s Wesley McGriff, LSU’s Bradley Dale Peveto, Sam Houston State’s Phil Longo and North Carolina’s Tray Scott. Not bad for a program under an NCAA investigation that has no end in sight.
With only one vacancy left to fill (the wideouts coach Freeze thought he’d bagged is heading to Baylor instead), the new-look staff must now turn its attention towards salvaging a recruiting class that ranks 38th in the country. Getting a commitment from a four-star Under Armour All-American bumped the class up 10 spots, but it’s going to take much more than that.
