Thad Franklin......

[Home Slice]

Yeah its not just at Miami though, lots of South Florida "busts" or at least not living up to their ranking at other schools too.

Is South Florida not the football hotbed it once was? Asking for a friend.

I feel like it has declined somewhat down here. Also the fact that a lot of the players are underdeveloped compared to other states like Texas and Georgia. There are still great players down here but the bust rate is something that is concerning.

Another SFL bust

I know who most of the two deep guys are, after that I’m lost

Sounds like FAMU is where he should be then! lol. We will gladly welcome him on the hill with open arms. He absolutely can play well at that level even if he half a$$e$ it most of the time.

If he’s going to half *** it, he needs to get da **** on. We don’t want no part of that at FAMU.

NG playing out of position.

The way he tried to tip toe through holes when he had the ball, heen want no part of dem trenches mane…

Thad got more playing time at Miami than he did at Louisiana-Monroe.

Goes to show the level of talent at Miami lately.

Thad was comped to Frank Gore coming out of HS. Classic.

Whoever compared Franklin to Gore coming outta HS should be repeatedly stabbed with a dull knife.

to be fair, in high school ball, having a generational combination of patience and vision DOES look a lot like being afraid to get hit

Why is he even a topic ? It’s a new day. Our fans need to move on from the past.

I remember vividly me saying I didn’t like him but they said he ran good in sfla, but that’s HS football way different at this level. The backs we are targeting now are a different tier. Have to get that RB Mills Knight he’s going to be legit.

 

[DTP]

If you’re going to be big and slow, you better be willing to dish out punishment.

We had 180lb Jaylon Knighton purposely looking for contact and 240lb Thad Franklin trying his best to avoid it.

Thad ran good, don't matter if Saban wanted him or not. Nobody can predict a guy coming in and completely getting outworked by the whole room. ****, the RBs Saban took that year are at SMU and CAL right now.

Of the top 25 ranked RB(247) in that year, 5 of them really lived up to their billing.

1. Trey Henderson
2. Donovan Edwards
4. Will Shipley
13. Bucky Irving (Transferred "up" to Oregon and does well)
25. Jonathan Brooks


Amari Daniels is still at A&M
Mafah is still at no transfer portal Clem.
Everyone else transferred to a lesser program.

Edit: I remember when Saban taking a South Florida WR was the kiss of death. He ate a 3piece flop between T Jones-Bell, Harrell(injured and from transfer portal but still a SF receiver), and J Brooks. Don't think he recruited SF as hard his last 2 cycles because of that.

Franklin showed up fat as **** and got even fatter. That's all you need to know.
