00:00 Next question up is from Discord.
00:01 Brandon would like to know the injury status
00:04 of Zachary Franklin.
00:06 What is the injury?
00:07 And when will he be able to return?
00:10 How will it impact who starts at wide receiver?
00:12 And this is legit questions.
00:17 First of all, thanks to HIPAA
00:19 and the way people keep things close to the vest,
00:21 it's guessing at this point.
00:24 From what I hear, even if he needs surgery,
00:26 it would be something like cleaning up his knee
00:28 or something like that.
00:29 It would not be a serious deal.
00:33 It's like whenever you go in and have your knee scoped,
00:36 that's the way it was, what, 10, 15 years ago?
00:39 I think that is the situation that would happen.
00:41 I don't know if it's happened already.
00:43 And I've heard stories and rumors
00:46 that it might've happened already,
00:48 which would speed up the timeline for recovery.
00:51 I don't think they're gonna wait
00:52 until camp starts to do the surgery.
00:55 I think if he's in school and he's clear
00:57 and everything's ready to go,
00:58 I think that's already happened.
00:59 They wanna get him on the field as soon as possible.
01:02 But as he recovers and gets ready to go
01:06 and working back up to fitness,
01:08 for lack of a better word,
01:10 will be an interesting situation.
01:12 Now, how does it affect other wide receivers?
01:14 I think Aiden Williams has a chance to be a dude.
01:17 I just do.
01:17 I saw him in person at the Under Armour game.
01:19 He's one of the best guys on the field.
01:22 One of the smoothest right runners, good hands,
01:25 all of this, Aiden Williams has a chance
01:27 to be really, really good.
01:29 And we forget about that with these transfers
01:31 that are coming in.
01:32 Like I said, I think Trey Harris has a chance
01:34 to be the alpha dog in that room.
01:36 But Zachary Franklin's health,
01:38 I think he needs to be 100% ready to go
01:41 and completely integrated into the offense
01:43 before the Alabama game.
01:46 So the Alabama game is the first normal game.
01:48 So by Georgia Tech, he needs to be playing.
01:51 If he is playing in that Georgia Tech game
01:58 and he is ready to go by the time Alabama
02:00 gets on the schedule, I think this is a different animal.
02:03 Because there's so many weapons
02:05 that Ole Miss can hit you with,
02:07 at wide receiver and at tight end and at running back.
02:10 And if Jackson Dart can distribute it
02:13 consistently to his weapons,
02:16 this team has a chance to be really,
02:18 really good offensively.
02:20 I don't think people understand that.
02:23 Has a chance to be really, really good.
02:27 And honestly, I'm looking forward to it.
02:30 I mean, you've got the hotter than the surface suns game
02:34 against Mercer and Tulane.
02:35 'Cause both of those are gonna be crazy hot.
02:39 If it has alcohol in it, it is not hydrating people.
02:42 Drink plenty of water.
02:43 And then you have Georgia Tech at home.
02:46 That's a night game.
02:47 That's a little bit of a reprieve.
02:49 Then you've got Alabama, which has a chance for 230 CBS.
02:56 Then you have LSU, which has a chance to be 230 CBS.
