You watch these kids hop in the portal after one spring practice and I think about the 2002 SEC Championship team that had guys like Boss Bailey and Jon Stinchcomb who sat and learned for two years before they ever started a game. These kids do not want to earn anything anymore. They want the playing time handed to them with a NIL check on the side. Kirby can bring in all the talent he wants but loyalty is gone. The portal killed the idea of building something from the ground up.
