WarEagle84 0 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Didn't see a thread on him, but I did find this from WEAU's Recruiting Board: Deondre Francois :starorange: :starorange: Ht/Wt: 6-1, 190 | Hometown/School: Orlando, Fla., IMG Academy Status: Florida, Florida State, Auburn, Ohio State, Tennessee and Oregon battle | Recruiter: Rhett Lashlee Commit Date: Opening (July 5-10) | Offered: Yes | Visited: No Ranking: 247 (4-star, #9 Dual) | Rivals (4-star, #7 Dual) | Scout (4-star, #19 QB) | ESPN (4-star, #3 QB:DT) | Hudl Highlights Apparently, AU is stepping up our efforts to recruit him: Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee was reportedly in Orlando, Fla., yesterday to visit the four-star prospcect. "They said I throw the ball great," Francois told 247Sports. "They love the way I spin it. Now that other quarterbacks are committing, they're starting to come at me stronger. "He didn't tell me, but I feel like I'm No. 1 on their board. But if I'm not, they're still recruiting me and that's all that matters." Francois said he speaks with Lashlee often and likes the offensive schemes the Tigers run. Auburn joins Florida, Florida State, Ohio State, Tennessee and Oregon as Francois' favorites.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I looked too and did not see a thread on Francois. I heard trhe coached have been after him pretty hard the last three weeks. He looks solid to me. His firm is good. He has a great offer list. With all the stuff going on with Gibson, I have to wokder if AU will focus more on people like Kai Locksey, and Francois. I have to admit I am still a big Locksey fan. I like the fact that he has grown up with a father as a coach. I do think he has less chance of messing things up like a Zeke Pike or a Gibson. Son's of coaches tend to be pretty disciplined. Francois looks like a good one too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you feel about Deondre? :dunno:/> Bird, not that you asked me, but I like Deondre as well. He looks good on film. I would be happy with either. Personal opinion is that Kai is my favorite but I think Deondre can be very good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If he improves his footwork some, he could be really good. He generates a lot of pop on the ball, with avg mechanics. I like his release point and how quick he gets it up and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 haven'\t see a lot flm on Deondre like Ihave on Kai. I like Kai's size. He kinda reminds me of Cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Wonder how he got the idea he was No. 1 on the AU board. Even if he had good reason to think that, I'm surprised that he would share that info with reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely call the next domino that falls and it will affect AU either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Well FSU should be in that position for awhile considering their QB just won the Heisman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au_bsci_04 407 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Interesting twitter convo with a UT fan. Indicated that UT coaches and fans favor Francois over both Locksley and Gibson. Said it was a shame that it looked like Francois and FSU were trending but was ok with getting Kai. UT backing away from Gibson? (Not likely, he was in campus this weekend) Either way, they are looking to take a 2nd QB with Jennings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks very good and is rated a high 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,062 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm still hoping we sign Tyler and Kai. Well then if I were you i'd pull for Francios to beat Kai to the punch by commiting to FSU before Kai can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then if I were you i'd pull for Francios to beat Kai to the punch by commiting to FSU before Kai can. Based on what just happened with Dormandy committed to UT, there may soon be a battle to commit soon to AU and Fl St between Gibson, Locksley, and Francois. I think these are all excellent choices.
