everyone is obsessed with the portal and these massive transfer classes like colorado's 43 guys, but they're missing the entire point of buuilding a defense. you can't just throw fifty new bodies together in spring ball and expect them to communicate, trust each other. that's a recipe for busted coverages and missed assignments every single time. our entire defensive identity is built on development and continuity. look at the respect we're getting from the real evaluators right now. louis riddick puts jeremiyah love on his favorites list, and mel kiper shouts out eli raridon. that's not an accident. that's proof our system identifies talent and then molds it over years, not months. these guys learn the scheme inside and out, they grow together, and they play for each other. you can't portal that. while oklahoma state is trying to install a whole new program with 50 transfers and alabama is scrambling to rebuild. the core understands the standard. that's why our defense travels. that's why we'll be ready for a place like wisconsin. the foundation is set, and it's rock solid.
