You don't understand how ratings work do you? He's a 2 star by EVERY service except 247 all season long, but as soon as LSU offers he's bumped to a 3. Seems legit.

it'd be really nice to RS franks and not let him play until his 3rd season. Another highly ranked QB would've at least added depth and increased competition. It can only be a good thing.

I know how a composite rankings work...

and the same thing happened for Mo Claiborne as well, just FTR

No argument there. But highly ranked QBs don't just fall off trees and they also look at depth closely. A highly ranked QB might look at LSU and see that Harris and AJ were freshmen and sophmores, respectively, and thought they might not get a chance to play for a long time

not to mention if LSU took a highly ranked QB last year, Franks might not be committed right now

Why? What are your expectations for QBs in their first two years?

Do you expect QBs to play better after their first two seasons?

I do hope this is sarcasm.

If Franks is the real deal and he earns the job, he needs to play. I imagine he'll want to play. Now, I have no real problem redshirting him, but sitting him another year and waiting for year 3 is silly. If he's the real deal, he'll only be here for 3 years anyway.

Contrary to the nonsense on this board, guys can play with little or no experience. Johnny Football and Winston both won Heismans as RS freshmen.
