    Maybe the light has gone on, and he's been coached up, and his natural talent is coming forth; but from what I saw, he looked like a major project.
    Kevin Greene is gone. If suddenly a project type got coached up, is it an indictment on him?

    I've wondered the same thing.

    Greenie was a true superstar player, I wonder if he didn't have a huge bag of tricks to teach the boys. KG was super strong and quick, espec with his hands. Maybe he'd show 'em but didn't know how to train them to be violent with the hands.

    Often great players like Greene don't make great coaches because the game came so easy for them and they wonder why their students can't pick it up as quickly as they did.

    They've had projects make the team before, but they're gone the following year replaced by the newest project. So it will take some time to tell if there's anything new here.
