He played S in high school but covered like a top-level CB in camps, including the Opening. He can play both.

Yes that’s all true, but part of the reason Coach D was down on him was that his senior year wasn’t that good. He had been called the next Vilma for years and was ready to move on to college.

Disinterested senior year. It’s a risk but sometimes those guys rise when the competition gets good. Perryman is the most recent example.

He is in the Bandy/Jaquan mold but longer and less explosive as a tackler. Very instinctual and efficient in his movements. I could see him at corner or safety.

A year can be a long time but he didn’t get hurt and looks the same physically. I see a guy who can play man, set the Dade County INT record as a safety, was the team’s kicker/punter, played some offense and wasn’t afraid to tackle. If his head is on right, he can play early. If it’s not, he...

You tell me:

Recruits cuck us because we haven’t been good since they left diapers. Get better talent, win more games and then we will be in a position of power.

There are red flags with Francois. No question. He’s gone from “must have/instant impact” to something riskier. But there were senior season concerns about Denzel Perryman. There was some internal debate about sticking with him because he coasted as a senior. Obviously, that worked out...

There's no room for emotion in recruiting. Just sign the best players and coach them. Who cares about pride and hurt feelings.

This is a legit point. The counter would be this:

Francois is having a disappointing, unmotivated season after a historic junior year and phenomenal camp circuit. What I've heard (and this is just a rumor) is that he wanted to transfer to Booker T but something happened and he is going through the motions at South Dade. I know he was recently...
