You see Oregon sitting there with five 5-star recruits in their 2026 class and everybody acts like that is the new model for success. Meanwhile I look at what Oklahoma State is doing with 50 transfers under Eric Morris and I just shake my head. We used to build programs the old ffashioned way. You recruited kids, you developed them for three or four years, and they played in the Peach Bowl or the Sugar Bowl because they wanted to be Bulldogs not because they were shopping for the highest NIL bid. The portal has turned college football into a free agency circus and I hate it.
