John Franklin III

[MSUDC11]

Transferring from Auburn. Immediately eligible as a grad transfer.

Do we dare?

I know, I know. The Netflix show made him look terrible. And he's been playing WR at Auburn. But we do need another QB and it could potentially allow us to redshirt KT. Or he can be another option at WR where we are also somewhat thin.

Thoughts? Even remotely worth a shot?

 

[patdog]

Nope.

 

[missouridawg]

He ain't good enough to play here.

 

[Xenomorph]

The phrase "No way in hell" comes to mind.

I wouldn't let

that kid be the water boy on my team.

From everything I've seen, he is a locker-room cancer.

 

[MSUDC11]

If I knew that his attitude wasn't going to be a problem, I would totally take him.

He's not a good QB and I would start KT over him if Fitz got injured, but it wouldn't kill us to let him take garbage time snaps or run the read option on a play after Fitz inevitably loses his helmet or something to that effect.

You just don't ever know when a 2013 type season is going to happen injury-wise. We're in a crappy situation with only two scholarship QB's, so perhaps having this guy on your roster for three months isn't the worst thing that could ever happen just in case of emergency.

The attitude, though. That would be the biggest issue for me to get past.

 

[Shamoan]

we already have the guy he played behind as a walk-on....sounds like he is a 4th stringer. go somewhere else.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

If he wanted to be a WR or backup QB, he's just stay at Auburn

 

[Carbaryl]

Going to FAU to play WR per the 24/7 Auburn site.

FAU is the Scooba Tech of south Florida, it would appear. They've brought in a ton of guys from EMCC.

I believe they wanted to move him to defense and he didn't want to, so he bolted. I would imagine the discussion among the coaches was something like:

Coach 1: "How can we get Franklin to quit?"
Coach 2: "Move him to defense."
Coach 1: "Hey John, come here!!""

 

[Shmuley]

We got maybe 4 plays max out of Damien Williams's gray matter. I figure Franklin would be good for maybe 3 plays, two of which were keepers.

 

[Indndawg]

Cam II.............whatever. He'll wind up at EMCC

Not to mention that they also made the QB coach into FAU's new TE coach.

What?

 

[Dawgzilla]

I think what everyone is overlooking here is that he actually graduated. Bad look for Auburn diplomas.
