OL leaves program
- Thread starter Alphalion75
- Start date
Wonder if this means we are taking 2 more OL in this recruiting class? The JUCO kid and the 3* they just offered...
Play what out, he hasn’t even sniffed the field this year. And this is on a team that has OLine freshmen walk ons getting playing time. Best he get an early start on the transfer portal.
Yeah, that does seem odd....but then again this is why CJF is on a permanent hot seat.
Sorry to hear he’s left. Several weeks ago, without being asked, Franklin brought him up as an example of a freshman who had made great strides He said McNeil had lost about 50 pounds in a matter of months to get down to 330. In his film he was quick and athletic for a 6’7” 340 OT. Online prospects are the biggest gambles.
These Franklin props to players are becoming the kiss of death. He praises Ford and he quits, and recently McNeil and now he’s gone. Hey Jimmy, please stop complimenting Singleton and Allen.
Maybe it’s his way of softening up the fact his success rate in recruiting is like 45%. He gets a few studs and a few that are okay but over half are McNeils
How does that compare with other coaches? If you're bringing in 25/year on a 5 year cycle, I would think that it's difficult to regularly go above 50%.
IDK that maybe a little harsh. I don’t have any stats to back up this comment, but 45% seems to be a reasonable number for recruiting success. Virtually all college teams have freshmen and sophomores playing above juniors and seniors. And then their replaced by more freshmen and sophs the next year. I guess what I’m saying is that if 45% of your recruits turn out to be contributors that’s not horrific, because the other 55% are filled in by recurring classes. One would love every recruit to be successful, but it’s just not possible.
yet you threw it out there as a dig on Franklin
Well I don’t deny I have my questions about him. He’s not the greatest game day coach, he’s to loyal to certain players, and all we hear is his niche is how great he is at recruiting. The numbers don’t bear that out honestly. I responded to question about other staffs. I answered it honestly, now you want to comment to me it was a dig. No sir, you see it that way. The numbers don’t lie, sorry you disagree
Check Penn State's recruiting rankings since 2000. He might not be Nick Saban at Bama good, but he's recruiting high end talent. Just a little low on a few positions.
Not hard to figure out, simply go through all Franklins commitments by year and rank them with some form of objective success criteria, then sum it and do the percentages.
Examples simply Brainstorming Concept with a Grading system..
Was Parsons successful he played two seasons? Perhaps give him a B? Justin Shorter that’s easy= F. Lamont Wade a C? Jaquan Brisker was a 3* would he be an A grade? Journey Brown, probably an A not JFs fault for health issues. McSorley a B?
Or do a 5 point system instead of grades,5 being the highest; Saquon=5, Michael Menet 3 or 4? Jordan Stout 4 or 5?
I would probably only go to 2020 recruits based on a minimum body of work and time to see the field etc.
