Thad Franklin re commits

[TC@ne]

Great addition for sure but i do like guys with elite speed at rb. Regardless franklin brings a style of running back that we have been missing in that rb room for a long time. Maybe he can be a jk dobbins type of back for Miami

Dont think that’s a good comparison. Dobbins is thick but much shorter, lower base, and more elusive, probably has better straight line speed as well.

Big physical power runner with elite feet, not a speedster but is a workhorse back that you can give the rock to 25-30 times a game. NFL size at a legit 200+lbs, is quicker than fast but has elite vision & change of direction, runs with great balance & can lower his shoulder & break tackles vs contact, despite his size runs with a low center of gravity, has good pad level for a 6'0 200lbs back.

He's by far the best back in the State of Fla & one of the best in the country, broke the state record for most rushing yards in a State championship game with 334yds & 5TD's. He was the entirety of that Nade offense rushing for 2,282yds & 28TD's his Junior year.

He's an ELITE back with incredibly high upside. My comparison for him is Kareem Hunt.

Vision is the one area that most fans sleep on, speed means nothing if you have no vision. Elite vision and great physicality is as deadly of a combination as there is. I’d much rather have good speed with his breaking tackles and vision than anything else.

If he sticks....are we done at RB for this cycle?

Yep. Signs point to fill out “2nd RB” with athletes. Leary and Yuelkeith come to mind.

Big back that gets north very quickly. I think his running style and size adds nice diversity to the RB room. I’d say Chaney is has a higher ceiling but Thad has grown man size. Probably could be Fournette-esk if he improves his speed.

Le’Veon Bellesque w his feet and body control for his size.

See: Lingard, Lorenzo.

One thing is for sure.... Miami knows how to the keep south Florida’s best RB home.

That and DEs

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.

Other than Bralon who else we are recruiting?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

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

Patience. By the time Franklin gets to campus, it might already be a thing.

Terrence Lewis and Allan Haye (DT) is on our radar as well, don’t know if we’d take his commitment yet though.

If I were a betting man I’d say you’re right.

 

[AG2]

Hickson can recruit recruit

Spoiler: 😁

It doesn’t need to be a thing. That’s my point. How can you possibly recruit better than Hickson is right now?

He's alright, but He's not elite. Duke would've had the same amount of yards on LESS carries.

Yes he is.

 

[skillydoo]

If Lashlee And the offense do what I think they’re capable of, the recruiting flood gates could open.

 

[CFLCane]

Don’t even think it’s a question we need two backs. Cam could have a good year and declare. You never know.

Yup and Burns could grad transfer as well.

See Bralon’s Twitter might be good for us

elite group at Chaminade this year... and in the years to come
