it's the portal recruiting that will make or break Fran for next year.  Listening to him he has changed gears on the portal very recently which is wise but funny how he i kind of scrambling now. He's brought in some solid talent the problem is there are still plenty of developmental players that have been brought in, how many of the kids from the 25 and 26 classes are really going to make a difference next year? I don't know but year 3 has to be 6-7 wins and right the ship, year 4 has to be Fran has had enough time to build the foundation, had enough recruiting classes where we don't get the give it time etc etc.

Recruiting isn't going to guarantee success by any means and some fans really enjoy following it and it's fun to get 4 star kids etc etc but at the end of the day at some point it will only be about wins/ losses,  By that time, he will have been able to tweak the staff as well.  It's not a big deal to be a first time coach and admit you made some poor hires and correct mistakes, it just happens that his biggest mistake is his buddy but they all know the business.
