Franklin sated with absolute clarity how he wants to build a roster - With high school recruits while filling gaps with the portal. He will obviously need to lean heavily on the portal early, but it seems like he's targeting guys who will, potentially, be around for a couple/few years. This helps him accomplish both things. And the guys he's targeting were blue chip recruits out of high school. The reason their portal rankings are low is because they simply haven't taken a ton of college snaps. James Franklin knows how to identify, acquire and develop talent.
