Program-changers? Son, I've been watching this program since Warren Powers was roaming the sidelines, and I can tell you that three-star local kids don't change programs. They build depth. The last time we hung our hat on a recruiting class like that, we were begging for a bid to the Independence Bowl. You want program-changers? Think Chase Daniel, Jeremy Maclin, those were the guys who put us on the map. This staff talking about 2027 while the portal is closed tells me they're asleep at the wheel. Every other serious team in the SEC is working the phones right now for immediate help, not dreaming about high school sophomores. I remember when we used to develop those three-star kids over four years, but that era is gone. The portal killed it. Now if you're not actively grabbing proven players, you're falling behind. Locking in on a class three years out is how you end up 6-6 and watching the Music City Bowl from your couch. We need linemen who can play next fall, not promises from kids who might decommit the second a bigger NIL offer comes along. This is how you get passed by. Again.
