Aron Franklin

Post by Alaric »

Wasn't he going to Navarro JC? I've searched for him but didn't find anything recent.

I am curious also for I believe if we could get him in, he could be a good addition to our team at some time. Go Mustangs!

Braylon Williams is at Navarro, but not Franklin.

I also noticed Joe Benefield over there. He might be worth keeping an eye on.

I saw Benefield too. It will be interesting to see how he does academically as well as athletically after his small town HS career at EF.

Um...Benefield...academically?...er...yeah...okay. Guys, I loved to watch the guy at high school, even when he wasn't having as great of a season...seriously...but his perspective on school was...well...he didn't care for it. Might have changed since he went to school. I dunno. Could happen. But given what I witnessed, I dunno.

I've been trying to find out about him all Fall-can't find a thing. Not listed on TVCC roster or list of recruits

seems like he is at a minimum somewhere other than Goliad, based on the comments visible here:

This, today, from a reporter knowledgeable about Aron's situation: "I just talked to Goliad coach Greg Althof about this. Aron went to Trinity Valley for about a week before coming home to Goliad. Long story short, SMU told him he would get another chance if he went back to Trinity Valley in the spring. That's the plan right now. Stay tuned. I hope he doesn't blow it. He has a lot of talent."

I think he left after the first game, and he was starting as well.

Hopefully these guys make it to SMU eventually. Lets get Beck "The Destroyer" Coulter here first though. Is KJ Vaifale still coming here after he gets back from his mission? Love the Poly players

KJ is not going on the missions trip. He is at a JC in CA.
