Why South Carolina? “Coach Teasley and Coach Shane Beamer, they really put their best foot forward,” Franks’s high school coach Greg Porter said on his decision. “They really showed that they care. I think that might have been the separation amongst all of them, no offense to anybody. But they just seemed to show a little bit more of a caring atmosphere and I think that was what he was used to and that was what he needed. South Carolina did a great job recruiting him.”
