year 1 impact is a short-sighted way to build a program. we've used the portal to add depth and specific pieces, not just chase quick fixes. look at our roster development under rhett lashlee, it's about culture and long-term growth, not just plug-and-play mercenaries. some schools might need that instant help because they can't develop high school talent, but we're building something sustainable. the portal is a tool, not a foundation. our success comes from blending portal guys with players we've recruited and developed for years.
