BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 we talk all of the time about players keeping their word when they commit to a school and on and on and on. now it is our time to honor a commitment that we gave this kid. Exactly! Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well technically he broke the engagement the first time when he signed on the dotted line but failed to meet the requirements of attending Nebraska. He should feel honored that we offered him again this year, but I think it would be in Nebraska's best interest to fill another position rather than bringing in a JUCO reciever. Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I have been reading around..... This guy was in for the weekend and he might be another possible commit. I have read reports that maybe up to 4 guys have committed from the weekend. Also, I have seen he has shaved his 40 time some, it is now closer to 4.2 than a 4.4.... Take this info worth a grain of salt though, you know how people get. That leaves Amie as the visitor from the weekend that hasn't committed if the franklin rumor is true. And Amie said he wouldn't commit on the visit no matter how much he wanted to, he wants to weigh things out a little bit... *disclaimer- All this info was gathered from free sources...

chamrocck Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Report that Franklin is N! Welcome (back), Wallace! Quote Link to comment
Always a husker Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Great news, hopefully he can stay out of trouble and I hope your right about his new 40. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Welcome Franklin!!!!! Quote Link to comment
NevadaHusker27 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Even though Franklin gave a verbal commit to Nebraska he still hasn't met Nebraska’s academic requirements so it is likely we will know if he will be part of this years' class in January. Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I like his height. Is 175 pounds his true weight? You would like to see him perhaps add another 20 if it doesn't affect his speed and quickness. Quote Link to comment

What the heck has he been doing the last two years. Wasn't that the reason he went the JUCO route. He should have his grades in order by now. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Normally, I don't have much sympathy for kids who don't get their grades up, but I'll be legitimately happy for the kid if he qualifies. Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I hope he is close to qualifying. I wouldn't think the coaching staff would waste their time with him if he wasn't. But what do I know. I see the OWH lists him as weighing over 200. I do like his size. I would rather have someone with size and speed vs. that short speedy kid OU received a commitment from, unless he's maybe the next Johnny Rodgers. Quote Link to comment

The world herald, 2 days ago had him at 6'3", 170 lbs. I have also seen 6'3", 210 lbs. Which is it? Quote Link to comment

husker rob Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 unfortunately some players just have athletic ability and very limited academic ability. hopefully this is not the case with Franklin Quote Link to comment
