You're talking about a different conference and a different era. I watched Warren Powers, and I watched George Welsh build something real here in Charlottesville with four-year players like Shawn Moore and Terry Kirby. But clinging to that alone won't win you games now. The game has changed, and you either adapt or get left behind. If Oklahoma State is using the portal to win now, more power to them. We tried the "builder" only approach for years and got passed by. Sometimes you need a salesman to go get a playmaker who can change a season, because the old ways haven't been working for us.
