[QUOTE="netty2424, post: 2525948, member: 63328"] Not in any way correlating this to Franklin as I don't know what his "classroom issues" supposedly are or if they're even real, but reading this thread reminded me of a documentary I watched this weekend titled '89 Blocks.' Documentary about an inner city high school program out of St Louis making it through the season and into the playoffs. It showcased many aspects of the program, coaching, player adversity personally and the field, and the recruiting process was a big player. It followed a kid up to Mizzou and Mizzou actually let the cameras into some of the kids time on campus during a visit. And most importantly how the elite level players tend to get away with what they want to. Jeff Thomas was the guy and man he basically just quit showing up for school and practice because he knew he could get away with it. Eventually the coach got pissed about it, but in the end let the players vote on allowing him back for the playoffs. And of course they did. He ended up at Miami. Interesting watch! I would recommend it. [URL]https://247sports.com/Player/Jeff-Thomas-35335[/URL] Again so there are no questions, I am not correlating this to Franklin. [/QUOTE]
