Losing taron Francis sucks but tbh the 26 wr class plus the portal makes him expendable

I flat out think Corey barber and Jabari Mack are both better than taron Francis in terms of creating seperation and downfield speed esp barber. Both are more polished route runners. It’s clear Kiffin prioritizes wideouts that’s can create separation over the big physical type at wr. His wr philosophy seems to be very diff from what Hankton prioritized.

Wholeheartedly agree. Even all the wideouts we’ve added in the portal so far all bring downfield explosiveness. Kiffin has a clear archetype at wr that manchild unfortunately didn’t fit

Hate losing Kyle Parker as well, but I think RB and WR are the two positions where the talent is prevalent.

Man, you must have never seen TaRon Francis play, he was a man amongst boys, he lived up to his nickname, MANCHILD. This and Kyle Parker will sting when it's all said and done.

Parker will have a good year where ever he ends up. Francis needs to develop and I see him having a solid career at a non P4 school.

No, it won't. It won't sting at all.

Wherever they end up is doubtful to win anything.

We are likely to championships!

I really dont' care about the 30+ fricks that transferred out. Its a new day, this is how it goes. I am not the least bit concerned about any of them.

I like Francis but he didn’t even record a single catch in year 1. Simply will never worry about offensive weapons with Kiffin as our coach
