Four Star QB with offers from Vanderbilt, FSU, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miss. State, Kentucky, N.C., Ohio State, Purdue and Tenn in 2013

McCrary has two seasons of eligibility remaining. If he graduates from Vanderbilt in May, McCrary could play immediately at his new school.

Wonder if PSU takes a shot. He seemed enamored with Franklin:

"He's the only coach who looked in my eyes and told me exactly what I didn't want to hear," McCrary recalled Friday from the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge, where he's competing alongside many of the nation's other top recruits.

Franklin asked his prize target a question.

What does the NFL stand for? Not For Long.

"That means you have to get a job, you still have to support for your family after (football)," McCrary said. "No other coach brought that to my attention."

McCrary gives Franklin a chance to combine his two greatest strengths.

"James Franklin is a great quarterback coach and developer of quarterbacks," Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell said. "He did it at Maryland. He did it at Kansas State. He's got an NFL pedigree. He's taken that recruiting (at Vanderbilt) to the next level, but it all starts with the quarterback. The quarterback is the leader of the team. When kids start to see a four-star quarterback go to Vanderbilt, they start to believe in the program."

I did not know prior to PSU, Franklin was seen as a great QB coach and developer of QBs.

Jeez, Hackenberg must really suck.
 
Franklin was Friedgen's heir apparent (expected successor) at Maryland until things fell apart.
 
Fwiw Mehringer started following the Oregon QB (who's transferring out) on Twitter
