The upward trajectory of Ernie Kent’s program might have just taken a massive hit as Robert Franks — the Washington State Cougars’ leading scorer last season and the team’s lone all-Pac-12 selection (honorable mention, but still) — announced via Twitter today that he has decided to forego his senior season of eligibility.
It does seem like there is a sliver of a possibility that Franks could come back to school, since he has yet to sign with an agent; however, this certainly strikes a different tone than the announcements of a couple of years ago when guys such as Josh Hawkinson and Ike Iroegbu decided to test the waters, sounding like Franks already has made up his mind.
