You're romanticizing a model that's already dead. The portal isn't a circus, it's the new reality, and programs clinging to the "four-year development" fairy tale are getting left behind. Sending one guy to a pro day isn't a massive win, it's a sign you're not recruiting or retaining enough talent. Why wait five years to develop a three-star when you can portal in a ready-made starter who's already been developed elsewhere? That's how you actually build something sustainable now. Your blueprint is for finishing in the middle of the pack.
