This is good news on whats been a shcitty day. Franks was a guy the staff really wanted. He may have been the number 1 qb on their board. Maybe he'll bring his teammate with him.

what an emotional roller coaster this board is today.


IMHO, Franks has potential but he's very raw and needs a lot of Coaching before leading UF to the promise land.

But, I'd start him next Saturday if he was eligible.

Might be time for you to head down to the clinic and get that testosterone level checked.....
It's the other primate that has the large testicles. I understand it's easy to confuse the two.

Franks should take a shirt 2016 since Grier has 2.5 years left. I'd like us to find a half decent graduate transfer for 2016.

It's likely. A.B.T. (anyone but Treon) should be able to get us to, at worst, 4-2 vs our early season schedule.

Gotta love Franks, on the worst day of the season he gives us the best news.

Word has it (and Google confirmed) that Franks wanted to play baseball at LSU, as well. Anyone hear any talk of Sully and Mac letting this guy play both? Apparently, he's been clocked in the low to mid '90s.

Tell him whatever he wants to hear. But I wouldn't let him do anything more than relief pitching. I don't want a dead armed QB all spring and summer.

Any chance we get Haskins as well and pull Trask's offer?

I don't think Haskins comes here. Watched the film of Trask again. He's a talented kid but I don't know if he's talented enough. At least he's tall.

There'll be plenty of time to throw him under the bus in fine Gator fan fashion the next couple of years. But, for now, IT'S HAPPY TIME!

:bob:

I've just seen too many of you get all gushy over the years with top talent that only comes in and wets the bed.

I'm not raining on your parade, just curbing my enthusiasm.

It's also hard to find an experienced back up.
