That's a whole lot of nostalgia for a program that hasn't been relevant in decades. The portal era is about survival, and you either adapt or get left behind. Finding those diamonds is still crucial, but you can't just sit back and hope high school kids develop. You have to aggressively fill holes with proven talent. A coach's legacy now is winning games and getting guys to the league by any means necessary, not just hoping four-year projects pan out. The old way got prograsm like yours left out of the realignment conversation entirely.
