Interesting interview with Blake. Some things I found interesting:
1) He doesn't seem too upset about Phil leaving.
2) He says they always know before media does. Makes me wonder why any player would want to transfer elsewhere unless for playing time after graduation or family/personal circumstances. Seems Franklin handles issues the right way, which I doubt is always the case elsewhere.
3) Mentions Phil noticed some things Huff didn't.
4) He is now the defacto coach. Blake taking on a leadership role is great for the program as he helps younger players through the change.
5) Looking forward to the new hire. I am too.
Whatever media training players are getting, it is good as they always seem to be on message.
