Wow! last i knew Franklin was the front runner, but it also appeared to be some sort of platoon patrol going with those 2 to open the year.

At least they have august to get the 3rd string ready just in case.

Caution to the wind....This kid was rated as a 4* recruit because of his brother! I think this transfer is more of MU showing that they made a mistake on this kid. His stats tell it all. He is a 6 ft 190lb pro-style qb. In his senior season, his completion percentage was well below 50%, less than 1000 yards passing, 8 tds 4 ints. He had a better junior season but his completion % was still below average at 55%. Look at some of the other 4* guys in his class (Blake Bell -OU, Zach Lee - LSU, Jake Heaps - BYU) they are all 3000+ yard passers, with 25-30 TD's. Crap, our recruit in his class Jared Barnett, had similar measurables with a better completion % at 60%, 2000+ yards and 20 TD's, but he was rated only a 3*. Big brother, cousin, daddy, etc in the NFL or headed to the NFL doesn't automatically mean you are a great player. Give this kid some baby milk and send him on his way. This is not a topic for the Cyclone board. Even if he could go to a Big 12 school, we don't want or need him!
