Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 5314462, member: 5058"] I'm only trying to illustrate that great players for any program have traditionally come from HS recruiting (not just at Clemson) and that I have a hard time with people saying/suggesting that Fran is abandoning the portal. I think he wants to find the right mix, and right now he feels that mix should be HS heavy. It's seems it's a bit of a long game. I think that has to do with "all of the above", (NIL, opportunity, culture/attitude, PT and roster room) but isn't without the idea that through the building of a good culture, he can sell that culture, and the NFL opportunities it can create better recruiting success at the HS level over an NIL and mercenary approach (like that of Miami or FSU) where we may not be able to consistently beat out bigger war chests for top transfer talent. With Dabo, he said publicly that he would not use the portal. It's different. For the record, I never said the culture at Clemson is a problem. [/QUOTE]
