LCU Question

[MarkDallas]

So Season 1, James Franklin III was on the roster. Very mobile, but had accuracy/consistency issues. Season 2, DeAndre Johnson is the starter. Similar style dual threat QB.

So they were both 3 stars, both left FSU, both put up some gaudy numbers. Johnson seems to be a much more consistent passer. Franklin may be a little more elusive on the ground, but overall I would definitely rate Johnson higher. Johnson also exhibits much more maturity and leadership.

Franklin gets an SEC offer but Johnson ends up at Florida Atlantic. Is it ONLY because of the character issues related to the bar incident? Because it seems like Johnson was a much better QB and leader. Despite the bar incident, he seemed to have a better attitude and outlook.

yes

The bar incident is the ONLY reason Johnson did not get a P5 offer.

However, the reason Franklin got a P5 offer is because the Auburn coaches are idiots.

This^^. I haven't even heard anything about JFIII even being in the mix at Auburn for QB. Auburn has moved on with Stidham and White as the main 2 guys.

Franklin is now listed as a WR on Auburn's roster and played WR in the spring game.

Just by watching the show in season 1, you could tell there were problems with Franklin's accuracy. I think Auburn saw him as a Nick Marhsall type QB. Johnson seems to be overwhelmingly better. Hopefully he keeps his head own straight. Maybe Kiffin will "chaperone" him to the bars in Boca.

I didn't understand it either. Franklin was significantly worse in my opinion. DJ was not only a much better player, but also a better leader. His mistake was an atrocious one, but I felt like he paid his punishment for it.

Don't forget who FAU's coach is.
