Well, you don't sell it like that. I've heard a former coach explain how he made this pitch, and you have to keep the conversation about money. 18 year olds like it when you talk money.

But a stronger sales pitch on money would be to explain how getting 25 carries a game for 3 years, being the ACC player of the year, leaving early for the draft...gets that money in your pocket quicker. Kids want instant gratification...not a long-term business plan on how football can be a 10 year annuity for them.

RB is the easiest position in college to get on the field early at. Why knowingly wait to play unless you go to a program where you are competing for something bigger like a NC....PSU isn't. If it's only about money, I think 90%+ of kids would gravitate to where they have the best chance to get paid early. If they are looking for a more robust experience and a big time college football atmosphere, that's a different story. Then we're in trouble.

Hmmmmnnn, Kudos to you SMF, Michigan barely got by Indiana and did the same last week against Minnesota! Harbugh is still winning but has taken a dip late in the season and not exactly against Ranked Teams.

I may have to change my Predictions for the Michigan-Penn State Game this week. Thank you for your input and we shall see if Penn State can beat a Good Ranked Team this week?

Good posts!

Indiana's QB has game. Against PSU he was out along with the RB. Indiana's offense gave OSU team fits. So no surprise there

A great back would never have to wait to see the field. At RB, two marquee backs are ideal. Much like Reggie Bush and LenDale White. They both got paid early. Probably their freshman year at USC.

Exception , not the rule! Usually it is a feature back and someone who can come in and carry the ball 6 - 10 times a games.

Seriously, are we going to have to read this James Franklin propaganda/hero worship the entire way up to February 4th?
If we wanted to read this crap, we'd subscribe to BWI. Please suffer in silence as your hero continues to stumble his way through actually coaching football games!
Did you even tout Vanderbilt? On a Pitt site? Anchor down? Seriously????
Please suffer in silence, or better yet.....just go where you belong!

I'm convinced that TD_Nitter is one of James Franklin's Pittsburgh relatives that Micco & Audrey keep reminding us about in the PG. Proof that Franklin has Yinzer roots.

Agree, and more importantly Franklin has yet to show the same coaching skills as Pete Carroll in his 23 games?

Actually, on BWI Free Board just like the Lair Free Board and at Penn State....Franklin has more "Doubters than Worshipers" that still want Paterno back and are split against their own University!

The Thread has been pretty good in unmasking the truth about Franklin by good Pitt Posters that have used good Football Analysis including your own.

We shall soon see if Harbaugh's Michigan does the same in front of Penn State White Out Big Recruiting Day, this is a "MUST WIN" for Franklin and so is MSU, and it will impact on his Coaching outcome!

The same for Pitt's Coach Pat having to beat ULou and Miami, we know Coach Pat can coach up his Talent but needs more Talent, and Franklin can recruit Talent but has not coached them up so far?

As Chris Peak has stated, with his Insiders Pitt Radio Broadcasts, Recruits are looking at Pitt and Penn State and that makes the Thread very relevant, as far as I am concern, and the discussions and insights have been very good, it not all about cheer-leading posts and we all learn on the Lair far better than any BWI Cult Postings!
