Varsity Kansas - The Blog

The Kansas State offensive coordinator showed up at the all-metro picture on Tuesday afternoon, and it was kind of strange. Not because I don’t think he should have been there, but because I didn’t expect seeing an assistant coach/recruiter at such an event.

But he was there. I asked him whom he was there to see, and he said, “all the seniors.” That was about 95% of the all-metro team, and apparently bad news for Maize wide receiver Brett Soft, only a junior. I guess he’ll have to wait a year to talk to James.

We’ve heard a lot of talk about instability within the Kansas State coaching staff, but I didn’t hear anyone speak negatively about Franklin or his presence at the picture. In fact, I spoke with Garden Plain coach Todd Puetz, who said that Franklin has done a great job recruiting Logan Dold, who has orally committed to the Wildcats.

So while it may have seemed strange to me to see Franklin there, I guess one could see it as him going the extra mile to impress potential recruits. After all, he was the only Division I representative in attendance.
