I think the fact that Franks is committed here is driving away Patterson. I hate this because I've heard there are top recruits who want to go where Shea goes. We will lose top instate recruits if we don't land Shea! We can't realistically think we will get both he and Franks to commit here, it doesn't make sense from a recruiting perspective. I like them both as qbs but I think Patterson has the edge over Franks in that he has attempted more passes, has a higher comp %, has half the int's, has thrown for 26 more TD's, only 1 fumble to Frank's 5, and a higher qbr. All this in the past 2 years. If Ole Piss gets Shea we will be in trouble!

I agree with Color of Kings - from what I'm told from family in North LA, Patterson is not only a gifted QB, but is also known as a leader who can/will attract other good N. LA players to follow him - offensive players, in particular, know what the kid is capable of doing to lead a team to championships. Considering our less than stellar recent history in landing some key players from N. LA(especially the Monroe area), it could mean more than just losing a quality QB. The Bama/Saban influence is already there, and we don't need Ole Miss taking any of our finest. On the flip side, if we get Patterson, both Bama and Ole Miss influence could diminish in the future. There are lots of reasons to want Patterson - Franks may be very good, but his numbers aren't as good as Patterson, he's not as polished, and he's doesn't have a LA following like Patterson with other players.
