Franklin Recruiting Tonight

[MD_Gene]

Browsing the TV channels this evening and saw the Lancaster Catholic versus Camp Hill football game was on. James Frankilin is there. He has been there since this afternoon from what I gathered. A different approach then JoePa but he is a very good recruiter. On top of executing on game day.

Anyone else see this?

I saw him at the Cumberland Valley vs Coatesville game in the 2nd quarter. I guess he zipped down the Carlisle Pike between the 2 games.

Charlie Katshir of CV and Zack Kuntz of Camp Hill getting some attention....any other prospects he may be seeing?

He was probably also there to see Coatesville's Ricky Ortega. Ortega started at QB as a freshman and put up big numbers2,328 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Ortega is one of the top 2020 dual threat QBs. Camped at PSU last Summer.

Channel 21 just showed him on the sidelines of the Camp hill game. Shortly afterwards Kuntz caught a short ball about the 39 yard line. deked out 1 guy and tiptoed down the sidelines for a long score. They didn't show Franklin's reaction. I was waiting for him to go tackle Kuntz,

I'm not sure. I don't follow recruiting too closely until signing day. He just needs to follow the Carlisle Pike a few more miles and he could get the Mechanicsburg vs Carlisle game in tonight too.

How does he have time for this?!

AKRON. AKRON. AKRON. AKRON. AKRON.

middle of 3rd quarter Kuntz 9 catches 221 yards 2 tds. He also punts (just had one downed at the 10 yard line)and plays DE

He was probably there to see Kunz, Katshir, and Coatesville's Rocky Ortega. Ortega started at QB as a freshman and put up big numbers. Ortega is one of the top 2020 dual threat QBs. Camped at PSU last Summer.

From what I saw in the first half of CV vs Coatesville- that Coatesville qb has really great poise for a Sophomore and a nice touch on his throws.

There was a disastrous snap that went behind him in the second quarter. He calmly looked to see where the defenders were, ran over and picked up the ball, then ran back about 10 yards before tossing a nice throw to a crossing receiver for a first down. Total disaster to great recovery to keep the drive going. Then led a great drive scoring a TD right at the buzzer- 14-0 Coatesville at half.

What, he doesn't sell popcorn in the stands in his spare time?

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Good. He's earning his money.

last week in a loss Kuntz was only targeted 3 times. Seems they may have adjusted their gameplan this time around.

I just watched Ricky Ortega's freshman videos. He's real good. About the same size as Trace but may get taller. Listed as 6'0 185. Kid can run and pass.

I;m pretty sure he never left the field during the game. They didn't show the band or the concession stand at halftime or the ticket booth pre-game. so he might have done that too. At the end of the game he was playing deep safety.

 

[Kamovitch]

Saw Franklin at Camp Hill tonight. Kuntz had 2 to catches but also dropped several catchable balls.

Different approach then Joe? Huh? Joe, like Franklin, probably one of the greatest recruiters that CFB has ever seen - and not just talent-wise but also character-wise.

 

[Delco Lion]

He was also there I'm sure to see Aaron Young of Cvile. As a soph. Young had 2,264 yards rushing-avd like 10yds a carry, , 34 touchdowns, and45 receptions for 580 yards and six TDs. 5'10" 185lbs and runs a 4.5 40.

FIFTY FIFTY BALLZ

yes he is

 

[maxxedout]

I think the world of the image he projects.

 

[CF LION]

My nephew teaches at Coatesville and mentors/tutors a lot of student athletes. Will have to touch base with him re: Ortega.

For the record: there were NO sleepovers!

Not every contrast/comparison to Joe is an insult to him. The comment was that Franklin and Joe had different styles, not that Franklin was better. How could anyone disagree with the observation that they had different styles?

Wrong, both Joe and Franklin are great recruiters and they don't have "different styles" in regards to closing rate with high-character, super-stud recruits when they get the in-home visit -- both are well known for how charismatic they are in regards to in-home visits and closing rates. Franklin himself has stated what a huge Paterno fan he was as a high school football player in Pennsylvania - said he idolized Joe, attended PSU's summer football camps, dreamed of playing for Joe.....and is beyond humbled to "Walk in the footsteps of The Great Joe Paterno".... Complete nonsense that Joe and Coach Franklin have different styles in regards to recruiting.
