You guys are looking at this from the wrong perspective; This is this kids future. He liked the idea of where his future was going under the guidance of Franklin. With Franklin gone and no certain replacement, there's no guarantee that the next OC we hire is going to be likable. In all liklihood, his replacement could be a unproven piece of crap coach. Would you want your future to rest in the hands of an unproven piece of crap coach? I imagine that a large part of his committment had to do with Franklin, but more so that all of the pieces fit. The offense, the relationships, close to home, being a KSU fan. With Franklin gone, half of his reasons to be here are gone. If we can get a good hire to replace Franklin, Harper could still be a wildcat. There's just to much up in the air right now.
FTR, I didn't believe I'd ever see him in purple.
