John Franklin commits to FSU

[CaneLos]

Btw.....Franklin is talking about enrolling early. Pete- Can you confirm if this is the case.

I hope he does. Then Collins stays with us. Would be sweet.

Have a feeling FSU won't let him enroll early

 

[Cane Steve]

Hey Alex?

Yea Coach Golden?

You realize that not only is FSU playing your boy, but if you come here you start next year right? Start as in...every play, you & Duke.

Coach, that is a good point. (Puts on Miami hat)

 

[dogcane]

too bad, I think Collins is gone

 

[Hurrikane]

As expected. Chess game. Darn.

From FSU's TOS from Stampini. Collins talks about how he's going to compare both teams (CANES and FSU) on Saturday Night. He took his official visit to FSU last weekend

If that's the case, then tactical move by Free Shoes in offering and accepting his teammates commitment and letting it sit with him for a few days. All the more reason why gotta ball out tonight against VTurd.

It seems like Miami put all their eggs in the Alex Collins basket

Not really.

FSU has taken Freeman, Wilder, Pender, Green, and wants to add Collins.

If they take Collins, which of the above can still bounce? Green. They won't get both Green and Collins. I bet you if Collins commits to FSU we completely drop him and go after Green.

Really not that worried. Kids going to a school on "the buddy plan" falls through more often than not.

Yep. Gotta think odds are on our side.

 

[FreePawn]

That didn't take long lol

Now we wait to see what FSU does

fify

Pender is still struggling with his injury and Green won't be health until mid 2013. So FSU will only have two healthy backs next year. That is why we are after Collins, we need a third back.

We need a first back. Collins would be our main back. Pender is going to be healthy by August 2013, and so is Green...and that's all that really matters. "Mid 2013" is when Collins will step on a college campus.

Lmao some Noles tried telling me "FSU doesn't need to pull tricks to get recruits"....and are really trying to rationalize this as...."well Idc about his offer list, he can run a 4.4 and has the ability to play multiple positions". Boy oh boy some people are just clueless.

It's been widely reported that Pender and Green might not be healthy for the 2013 season. Some speculation that Pender might not make it back at all. Ira has suggested that Green won't be healthy until mid-way thru the 2013 schedule for FSU.

With injuries, it's often times a guessing game, yet it is understandable why FSU is targeting an extra RB. Especially since we will be playing at WF next year

Lol, our players aren't balling out tonight to get Collins. Silly.
And if collins goes to fsu, we aren't going hard after green. Green isn't coming here either way.

"We'll have to see what is best for him and best for me, but we have always said that if we had the opportunity to play together, we would try to make it happen," Franklin said. We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens."

quote from Franklin from ESPN

 

[ladycane]

So FSU takes Franklin but not Mackenro? I don't understand that.....

 

[GoldCane]

they must want AC more than Mackenzie or Franklin is a much better player than Mackenro

 

[NVA CANE]

So FSU takes Franklin but not Mackenro? I don't understand that.....

Wasnt that cause his brother didnt commit?

potentiallysame situation here. But from franklins comments looks like Collins is going to fsu. Sucks but we will move on. I just hope golden has a backup plan.

 

[5XNC]

Lol, love reading the noobs comments.

 

[Artist Formerly Known As]

Collins hasn't even said anything about leaving to play with Franklin, and to my knowledge, never stated that he was going to. Quit blowing what his teammate said out of proportion. He may switch, but quit saying he's definitely leaving based on one quote from a friend.
