You're praising your staff for not using the portal? That sounds like an excuse for not being able to attraact talent. We develop players AND hit the portal to fill gaps, which is why we're competing for titles. Your "identity" hasn't beaten us in three years. Chemistry matters, but so does having better athletes, which you clearly aren't getting. Maybe if you landed a few impact transfers, you wouldn't be stuck in the middle of the conference every single season.
