“We focus strictly on recruiting to LSU, the players we want here, that we believe will be successful here and we can develop,” Kelly said on Wednesday. “That’s our mindset. We focus strictly on the job at hand and we recruit those who understand our mission to graduate champions.”
Kelly’s set on building LSU through the high school ranks, which means being particular in going after transfers.
“I don’t feel confident in the portal, I feel confident in what we’re going to use the portal for,” Kelly said. “That is strictly to bolster a position group still in need of development. This program will be built on freshman. We’re still not there in particular on the defensive side of the ball so you’ll see that as we move forward on Friday’s announcements in terms of players. I’m confident that we have a plan and the kind of players we want to bring in out of the portal.”
