Thad Franklin re commits

[brock]

He absolutely has “home run” ability. He’s up fast similar to ****erson. He’s in sprinter mode from jump. He is aggressive and needs multiple bodies to bring him down. He also has lights out home run ability. Elite

Knighton and Chaney have lights out home run ability. Franklin does not have it like those 2 but he does posses the ability to break the long run for sure. He’s a power back through and through

Another aspect here is getting him back on board so early. This can have an impact with some of the other local guys, especially his teammates.

Bralon?

 

[Bweezy25]

Are we only taking 1 RB this cycle?

 

[Fluffhead]

Told yall we was getting him back.

Get LCE on staff!!

Correct! He has home run ability. He is not “just” a power back.

 

[CoachChin]

All I’m saying is I’ve seen him be chased down from behind on plays where guys like Chaney and Knighton would have been gone.

Yeah he’s a pounder. Don’t think he has the uptop speed of those 2 guys but still stoked to have him back

Thinking 2

 

[Jaxson Villain]

Whoah... I’ve been thinking we are due a commitment.. I didn’t expect to log on and see this though... HUGE...

I know last cycle was a little different (Francois), but usually if someone recommits to the same school they decomitted from, they usually stick.

 

[BeastMode]

Bralon?

yes

 

[MiamiChris]

Can we please just Fing win

need him to compliment the other two. Lashlee will pound the rock if he still runs a system similar to Malzahn. Auburn is uptempo but they run the rock.

Correct. Can’t see him dipping twice

What’s the scouting report on him? @DMoney @Liberty City El @Matthew_Suero @brock @Cribby

Easy and natural 220 pounds, basketball player with coordination. Great feet, excellent instincts.

Runs like Frank Gore, not as dynamic but bigger. Doesn’t look fast but pulls away from fast defenses. 2,300 yards last year and set a state record in the championship game.

Elite.

 

[Jaxson Villain]

Got to think this is in part due to Thomas Brown leaving South Carolina.

Dude is physical as **** especially for 195-200 pounds , good not great speed. Personally I love guys like this more than the smaller , quicker , agile backs. This guy you need multiple guys to tackle him and eventually defenders will make business decisions.

He can take it to the house , so he’s not slow. Just not as fast as say a knighton. But imo you would much rather deal with knighton , especially at the first two levels.

Nice fit with Chaney and knighton.

Now Thad do me a favor and go get your boy Bralon Brown

Hopefully he'll step up with Brantley and help the staff recruit.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

People really tried to say Telly should get the RB job lmao

This much is pretty clear just from his film.

But production doesn't lie.
