Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 5313917, member: 2766"] to be fair, even Dabo at Clemson couldn’t sustain their success by just recruiting HS and relying on player development. Plus they had top 10 classes to work with. Right now we haven’t really brought in a portal player of note besides Thomas. I know what Fran said about focusing on HS recruiting but i think you need a solid 80/20 share of fill-in , plug and play, portal players to be successful in todays game. So far what we lost due to graduation and the few guys in the portal have not been replaced any where near for we need to be competitive next season. Also, Fran doesn’t seem like he will redshirt freshman so that also factors into player development . We’re not bringing in the kids who are ready to play as a freshman but are playing them anyways to keep them happy. imo i’m not sure how that recipe works in todays college football? [/QUOTE]
