Thad Franklin Shuts Down the Rumors

[YUMU]

Can we postpone the season until the spring? I want this class to stay intact

no need.. we gone be good

no need.. we gone be good

look w the QB, OC, OL additions, and the returning D cant be figure out a way to get to 10-11 wins, we have more issues than keeping a class intact.

 

[TriStarCane]

Maybe with him, we can actually convert on 3rd and short or, Heaven forbid, score inside the 5?

 

[Miami Nights]

No official numbers, but eye test is in the 4.6 range.

But RB's don't have to be Blazers to be effective, the kid rushed for over 2200yds vs good Broward comp without having world class track speed.

His footwork, vision & balance is what makes him a great RB, he's a natural athlete that plays Basketball & that's where you see him excel at the most is with his footwork & agility to make cuts & transition with fluidity & quickness. He won't beat too many in a straight line race, but in terms of lateral movement & taking angles while running with a low center of gravity he's very good at that. Usually taller backs tend to run straight up & are too high, but he actually runs with good pad level & can lower his shoulder to be a bruiser making tough runs.

My comparison for him in his commit thread was Kareem Hunt, neither one is super fast but both are big sized power backs who are highly productive.

I agree........ you don't have to be a sprint champ to be effective but having an explosive back that can take it to the house on any carry should be the norm at Miami. I'd take a true frosh frank gore over Joe year by or a guy like portis over Charlie Jones... I'm talking coming out of high school. That's not to say franklin can't become a great player here just a personal preference of mine.

I’m 25 years old brother. I would like to see us be good for 10 years of my life. You’re right

Same

Yuuuge.

Now pair him with this rocket...

I'm sorry THIS KID is the real deal, IF anybody got a better 1-2 punch than (Thad and Amari) I WANT TO SEE IT..

 

[337CaneNation]

Najeh Davenport & Edgerrin James 2.0???

I like the comparison!!

Jesus, I forget how young most of the posters are here. I'm turning 40 tomorrow and I fully intend to go around the house yelling, "I'M A MAN! I'M 40!" all day.

Lol I’ll be 26 in December man and I feel ancient

Nice to see our coaches having some leverage with some of these wishy washy recruits now and putting their foot down on some of the fvckery that goes on down here.

And wins on the field will make it more apparent

 

[Virginia_Cane]

I stopped following all things recruiting when the pandemic started, I think I should probably stay out of the loop because this staff is hot on the trail right now..

Dudes in Sfla know what’s up , he’s a grown *** man that runs like such. Violence , north ,south and punishes the defenders if they try to go head up. The amount of “ business decisions” I’ve seen on his tape is hilarious.

He’s not a blazer but he’s not slow , I see baby beast mode. I’ve been leading the charge for him being a must get , so hopefully this finishes his attention whoring off, and that’s all it was. I didn’t see him bouncing.

No doubt, Thad is a beast. I see a lot of LeVeon Bell in his running style. He will be a stud in college.

I feel like a good comp is NFL Gus Edwards.

Just not such a *****.

He may be a racist, but that's still one of the all-time press conferences.

****, I loved watching Donnell Bennett run some motherfvckers over...

 

[ZoeCane97]

We’ve been having a lot of lightning in the back field; it’s time to have some thunder. Let’s stay home young bull; become our new D Bennett, T Moss, N Davenport.

Someone should organize a presser-off between Gundy and Edwards.
