And you obviously have missed the entire point of this thread.
The portal is like free agency , you add a handful of guys and build through recruiting. Like Bama, Osu, Georgia ,Clemson, Oregon and Lsu, All of those programs build with HS recruits and add guys to come fill holes where theres been injuries, misses in recruiting , guys going pro or numbers issues. Thats like saying I’ll depend on free agency rather than. the draft in pro sports.
The portal isn’t the answer , it’s an eraser. No team playing for titles will survive on the portal and 25-40 ranked classes.
Lastly I’ll ask you this…. did the portal fix our two biggest holes coming into the season? De and Lb were the biggest issues we posted about all off season , guess what’s been killing us this season? Lb and de lol. But the portal is the end all correct? Manny has brainwashed Cane fans into believing this.
Horrible recruiting at De, Lb, Ol mixed with god awful development is why we’re in this position. The portal isn't a miracle worker. as last year has proven. It’s a 50-50 proposition at best. There’s only so many sure things that pop up in the portal and we know where majority of those types will go.
