Anthony Russo said Cam Cameron had been holding out to see if Franks signed with LSU even though he was committed to UF. If not, he is the next qb they will offer.

I realize Franks already signed, but what I gathered was that Cam told Russo he is next man up.

This kid CAN play. Here is some film:

Here you go, Wrinkles! I presume you're calling me a liar because I don't post every five minutes.

Franks already signed with Florida. Russo is either misinformed or spinning something, because Cam is not waiting on Franks---maybe someone else though.

Edited to add the word "not," which was supposed to be in there.

I'd rather have Haskins first. But Russo does seem like a good last-minute pickup.

It said Russo said that earlier in the month, certainly not the case anymore. Typical bleacher report.

Not a liar, just a poor job of screening B/R.

The point from that whole story is that Cam TOLD RUSSO he would be the next man up if Franks signed. That came from Russo's mouth per the article and is very important considering LSU doesn't have another current option at quarterback. Don't be a pompous a-hole.

But would Russo commit if offered the spot? The type of scrutiny an LSU QB faces isn't for everyone.

But Franks signed and I've not heard of an offer going out yet.

Kid looks like a very accurate passer, but his offense in HS was entirely from the spread in shotgun.

He would have to get his 3, 5 and 7 step drops down along with timing his passes from those drops to work in an LSU offense.

Russo would be a great pickup at this point. Haskins should have been the guy all along in my opinion. Pulling Haskins would be as big of a win as anyone in this class.

Why does one guy have to wait? LSU could use both in this class. Russo the more long term option if Haskins commits.

He takes some snaps from center. More than most QBs I see. More than Haskins that's for sure. He even does a rollout throw that we run with our offense.

You guys are funny. How long did you watch the tape, 30 seconds.

where in this video? LINK

3 minutes in and all from the shotgun. i'll keep watching.
5 minutes in and still all shotgun
6:43 first play from under center
7:29 another play under center
7:58 another

very very very few plays from under center in this video

so almost halfway into the video before a single play under center.

People get so caught up in the number of stars by their ranking that they can't see talent. Plenty of GREAT quarterbacks were three stars.
