My take on this is that Fran has gotten his ass kicked this year and it woke him up. In what way? You can’t “build” a roster with mostly  HS guys anymore. Fran nailed his first year because he was able to retain basically every key guy who he inherited(the dude is a monster recruiter) and then he went out and got major portal help with Kyle, Diggs, Meeks etc. We were not a major player in the last portal and it showed. Angeli was a home run but got hurt, and while a few other guys have been solid, there wasn’t a Diggs or Meeks in the bunch. Now? At least two of the three kids who decommitted Sunday said Fran called them and said he didn’t have room for them anymore because he is going heavier into the portal. That was the best, and pretty much only, good news this program has had in two months. Now we will see who he can bring in, and what he does with at least a few very necessary staff changes. I think we will do well in the portal this time and we should hang onto most, if not all, of our key HS guys. The portal being the most immediate of importance of course along with player retention(Angeli, Samuels, AD most notably)
