'15 FL QB Deondre Francois (¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[GBdomer]

Hopefully he scares of Henry.

Francois is on the yellow brick road to Tallahassee. When Marshall leaves Auburn, there will still be Jeremy Johnson and Sean White ahead of him. Oregon just acquired a competent quarterback in this class. Winston leaves, and all obstacles are out of the way! Verbal commit De Andre Johnson may consider other options.

“@AKRivals: Johnson to Francois if he joins #Noles: "You'll be on the bench"

Johnson is a QB already committed to FSU.

That's awesome!

Johnson is a QB already committed to FSU.

He's no Chad Kelly:

"Your on the bench for a reason. And i come soon! Just letting you know."

I think Francois accepts the challenge from Johnson, and that Auburn freshman, Sean White, would be more of a challenge.

 

[ResLife Hero]

With some of our 2016 QB targets also eyeing FSU and Auburn, is there one which helps us at all?

Interesting turn at the last minute:

I wonder if that was his plan walking into the announcement.

So FSU and Auburn both land highly rated QBs on the same day?

I'm very OK with that considering Pass and Henry.

Edit: I'm lost. So both committed to FSU? That's good news for Henry I'd imagine.

Yup, FSU has 3 QBs in this class, for now.

 

[#1rish]

Ha wow bad info.

Anyway, yeah I have to imagine this bodes well for us for Henry. Two 4 star QBs committing to FSU in one day.

 

[STLDomer]

I'll check the FSU board later after the celebrations die down to see dafuq's up with their QB situation

 

[ResLife Hero]

No way they sign all 3 QBs they have right now.

Just checked the CBs for Malik Henry. 56% to FSU. Today is a great day for our chances with him

Agree, at least one will change their mind before NSD.

fsu ppl think Locksley moves to WR.

Two quarterbacks commit on the same day? The Francois commitment was planned, but Kai Locksley's was a surprise. This tells me that Locksley is amenable to a position change. De'Andre Johnson, entering his senior season at First Coast, has been a FSU commit for two years now. What was the name of that TV porpoise? Flipper? Whole lotta dorsal fins swimming in De'Andre Johnson's direction right now!

 

[NCDomer]

I guess this is what happens when your QB wins the Heisman at a reputable football school. Same can happen at ND when Golsen wins the Heisman.

Golson should focus on winning the starting job first.

 

[dad4aa]

Is anyone going to update his title from offer to FSU commit? I keep seeing offer and thinking there was an issue and he didn't commit.

 

[Luckylucci]

Apparently he's going to be taking a few OV's in January. He told Josh Newberg (247 FSU) that he'd be taking them to Baylor, WVU, ND and FSU. Funny part is per Loy there has been zero communication from the ND camp and we are not recruiting any QB's in this class besides Brandon Wimbush.

Loy posted this (unless this is what you were referring to): On FSU QB Commit Deondre Francois...

On the situation…

Notre Dame is recruiting one quarterback and one quarterback only — Irish four-star QB commit Brandon Wimbush. I spoke to a source a few minutes ago that stated Wimbush is the only guy the Notre Dame staff is talking to and the only guy they want in South Bend suiting up for the Irish. Francois isn't being recruited by the Notre Dame staff and a visit to campus isn't in the works.

Just wanted to clear that up before any rumors get started.

 

[Luckylucci]

Yes, thats what I was referring to.
