That's a comfortable story to tell yourself, but silence from the national media isn't a strategy, it's a consequence. Florida State's roster turnover was massive, and not being on any draft boards reflects a real talent deficit. Chemistry matters, but so does raw ability. While you're developing, the teams loading up in the portal are adding proven production. Last year's team finished 5-7, and that climb back is a lot steeper without elite players. Letting others "get loud" about acquisitions often means they're getting better, faster. Development only gets you so far when you're being out-recruited and out-ported.
