Title: Roger Franklin, TX Recruit? Any word?
Post by: Niv Berkowitz on April 16, 2008, 01:06:46 PM
Anyone hear of anything regarding Roger Franklin of late, and I wonder if he'd still fit into the school at 6'6" with the big guys we'll already have next year. Then again, that area is one we'll probably be glad to have depth at.

Link to a March article on Rivals. Thought it was interesting now that Buzz is head coach, what with his Texas ties.

Pretty sure Crean offered him the second he got to IU.  He likely never would have gotten a sniff of him had Buzz not been at MU, now watch him end up at "It's Indiana." 

With this, Nick Williams, and Jamil Wilson, Crean is making me sick.

How is Crean offering all these scholarships? Aren't they going on double secret probation soon?

Players got kicked off the team, players graduated, Eric Gordon left early, and incoming recruits backed out.  They have a lot of playing time to sell at a big name school.

But with Buzz' Texas roots and the fact he most likely contacted him first, I'd think we'd still have a shot.

I hope he's upfront with the possibility of impending NCAA violations.

And if he's not, I hope those kids transfer!  ;)
