YES!!!!

I am excited about this class and last class. So many excellent football players signing up to represent the White and Gold.

I was involved with the program in 1987, 88 and 89. The average talent level we are getting commits from is better than those classes. One more class like this will put us at different level.

As far as UNC goes, not worried. Trust me. They can sign all the Blue Chips in the world but they will never have a program like ours.

Mean and strong. Could play center. Like him when he keeps his feet moving. Looks like he really enjoys run blocking. Fights to the whistle's echo. Does not like to let go if he gets hands on you.

Needs work. Needs work with hands. Sometimes will lose leverage and only wins cuz the defender is locked in to defeating rather than shedding and Franklin is really strong.

Rated higher than Richey, but Franklin does not move as easily as Richey. Should be fine in the interior. Strong enough to start early.

If he comes here, love that he will be working with Key for four years. Franklin's technique is not that bad but Key can take him to a whole new level. Draftable if he listens to Key and Lew, and I bet he does.

Crystal balls for Kaleb Edwards starting to flip from ND to GT. Set to commit July 1. Suspect he is the one our commits were buzzing about.
That would be good. Dude is just a football player, and that is a high compliment.

Certainly. And he has Stanford, Notre Dame and Duke offers. The kind of guy we have to keep in-state going forward.
We don't talk about the "Tech Man" topic very much the last coupla decades, but some of us have an idea of what a Tech Man is, and Edwards has what it takes. Great family. Great faith. Great character.

Maybe it's not talked about because that is a stupid list of 'requirements'? People can't control their family background. Who cares who/what/if they worship. All that should matter is character.

You can occasionally win a poker hand with a 2-7 but I usually prefer to start with a pair if I can get it. The inputs you slur raise the probability of having the traits you want.
