That's such a short-sighted take from a rival fan who only sees the flash. Year 1 impact is a bonus, not the blueprint. Real roster building is about culture and development, not just grabbing mercenaries. The portl is a tool, not a strategy. You still need a core of high school croots you develop for three or four years, guys who buy in. If you're just chasing the instant fix every year, you end up with no identity and a locker room full of rentals. Look at the teams that are consistently good. They use the portal to fill specific holes, not rebuild the whole two deep. Our staff is hitting the high school trail hard, building relationships that last. Those silent commits and crystal ball flips for '25 kids matter more than some grad transfer. The portal is a reaction. Building a class is a plan.
