Man, reading that just reeks of sour grapes from a program that can't keep up. We ARE building those kinds of men, every single day. Our guys buy into this program for the long haul, and it shows on the field with the toughness we play with. You talk about the portal like it's some kind of plague. Look at our roster, it's filled with players who have grown in our system. That ESPN list is a snapshot, it doesn't define a program's worth. Our legacy isn't built on one article's mentions, it's built on sending complete football players to the next level who are prepared mentally and physically. The "old guard" you're pining for would look at our current staff and see coaches who understand the modern game. You don't think we have diaamonds in the rough? We find them every year and they become leaders. Maybe your program is lost in the chaos, but over here we know exactly who we are. We develop players with a chip on their shoulder, and that's not changing. The proof will be on the field this fall when our guys, the ones who stayed and fought, show what a real program looks like.
